About Gwella
Our Vision
To provide individualised, empowering leadership development pathways for leaders and managers at all levels within the health and social care workforce, for the benefit of patients in Wales.
Our Mission
To provide an easy access platform with relevant learning opportunities, resources, and events, bringing people together to cover a variety of topics relevant to leaders.
About the Platform
Gwella is the Leadership Portal managed by the HEIW Culture Leadership and Succession team 
with the goal of providing users with an accessible, intuitive system that allows them to access a range of compassionate leadership resources with ease. This platform is accessible to everyone within health and social care in Wales regardless of their position or qualification.
The Gwella Leadership portal is a key enabler of the Health and Care Workforce Strategy ambition that ‘by 2030, leaders in the health and social care system will display collective and compassionate leadership’.
This platform provides leaders across the system and at all levels across health and care in Wales with access to a digital leadership portal with functionalities such as self-assessment and 360 evaluations, blended learning pathway development, digital learning resources, events management, profile personalisation, individual networking opportunities and the ability to be signposted to resources of interest.
