Dr Brian Campbell has been appointed to the role of Chair of the Bronglais Hospital Innovation Sub Group for Hywel Dda University Health Board (UHB) in the Mid Wales Collaborative, which was established to take forward the changes highlighed in the independent study into the future provision of health services in the region.
The study by the Welsh Institute of Health and Social Care (WIHSC) at the University of South Wales, led by Professor Marcus Longley, spent nine months listening to the views of patients, the public and NHS staff across Mid Wales.

Dr Brian Campbell has the experience and respect to guide the innovation group to find inventive solutions to our service needs. We are delighted that Brian has accepted this important role and we look forward to working with him in developing services for the people of Mid Wales”.
Dr Campbell, currently a Consultant Anaesthetist at Bronglais Hospital will take up this additional role from 7 September.
