Welcome to your latest BMA LNC newsletter from Cardiff & Vale University Health Board 🩺

At the most recent meeting, your Local Negotiating Committee (LNC) raised key priorities on behalf of the medical workforce:

🔹 Communication – Members highlighted the need for earlier, more meaningful engagement on major changes. While dialogue with management is improving, there’s a clear focus on strengthening two-way communication and partnership working

🔹 Study leave policy – Positive progress is being made towards a fair and transparent policy for consultants and SAS doctors, with a commitment to parity across the health board. Discussions are ongoing

🔹 Fatigue & Facilities Charter – Work continues to improve awareness and access to rest facilities. Suggestions include clearer digital information, better signposting, and making this part of induction for new staff.

There’s plenty more in the full update 👇
