NHS Wales provides public healthcare in Wales and employs some 90,000 staff, making it Wales’s biggest employer. It employs a wide range of staff such as doctors, nurses, midwives and paramedics well as allied health professionals such as technicians, microbiologists, radiographers and pharmacists.

Most staff working for NHS Wales, including non-clinical staff and GPs (most of whom are self-employed) are eligible to join the NHS Pension Scheme which, from 1 April 2008, is an salary-average defined benefit scheme.
