This page illustrates how open-text survey responses, interviews and focus groups could be translated into themes that support HEIW's communications, engagement planning and strategic narrative development.
Stakeholders recognise HEIW's national role in workforce, education and improvement.
Some stakeholders are unclear where HEIW's responsibilities end and where other NHS Wales, Welsh Government or organisational responsibilities begin.
Senior leaders need strategic impact evidence, while operational and clinical audiences need practical, plain-language guidance on how HEIW's work affects them.
HEIW can strengthen consistency by using a clearer core narrative supported by tailored messages for each stakeholder segment.
The paraphrases below are illustrative only — not real stakeholder quotes.
HEIW is clearly important to the workforce agenda, but the boundaries of its role are not always obvious.
HEIW is seen as credible at national level, but stakeholders want more visible evidence of system impact.
Engagement is positive when it happens, but stakeholders want a more predictable rhythm and clearer routes into HEIW.
The strategic priorities are important, but the language needs to be simpler for wider audiences.
Stakeholders want HEIW to be visible in shaping future workforce supply, education pathways and leadership capability.
Repeatable measures recommended for annual or biennial perception tracking.
