How does the Panel work:

As a Panel member, you will be invited to participate in a 15-20 minute survey every other month. You are welcome to complete the survey in either Welsh or English (other languages may be available upon request).

The surveys will ask about current public health issues that may impact your health and the health of the community of Wales. The issues will likely include employment, housing, health behaviours, the cost of living, climate change, coronavirus, and support and information you might like to use and receive.

You can complete the survey in one of two ways:

• Online: by receiving a personalised link to a survey via email.

• Telephone: with a trained interviewer from DJS Research calling you at a time convenient to you.

Have your say:

Public Health Wales works to protect and improve health and well-being, and reduce health inequalities for the people of Wales. They identify the public as a key partner in their decision making and want to ensure that residents of Wales have a voice in policy and practice that affects them, their communities, and their nation.

This Panel will provide Public Health Wales with a mechanism for routinely capturing the public’s voice.

What is public health:

Public health is defined as “the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organised efforts of society”.
