Putting an end to corridor care in Wales

Corridor care is putting patients at risk in every corner of Wales.

In January 2025, we've sent open letters to the Welsh Government and every health board, along with eight steps to tackle it.

We also wrote to Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, NHS trusts, Llais (the citizen voice body in health and social care), and Wales's Commissioners for children, older people, and future generations.

You can read the briefing on corridor care in Wales in Welsh or English – and find all the open letters on this page.

Corridor care is not safe care.

Nurses, doctors, and health care staff in Wales are being forced to treat and care for patients in corridors, car parks, and other places where safe care simply isn't possible.

Add your voice to the petition today and help end corridor care in Wales.
