Amplifying Real Voices in Health and Care
The Bevan Commission are once again working in partnership with Llais on ‘In Your Shoes’ – an initiative is designed to shine a light on the real experiences of people navigating the health and social care system.
In order to build a deeper understanding of what care truly looks like in practice, we aim to work with individuals (adults) from across Wales with a wide range of backgrounds and conditions including:
- Cancer
- Dementia
- Neurodiversity ( (eg. Autism, ADHD)
- Maternity
- Stroke
- Diabetes
Over 12 months, participants will capture their journeys in real time through video, audio, or written reflections. These first-hand accounts offer an unfiltered view of both the strengths and challenges within the system, showing the real impact on individuals and their families.
Alongside these lived experiences, data and statistics will provide additional context, helping to create a richer picture of health and care services in Wales and how they can be improved.
The initiative starts in October 2025 and we look forward to sharing the findings at the end of 2026!
For more information about the initiative contact Bevan Commission Project Manager: Sarah Owen – s.k.owen@swansea.ac.uk
