What we do
Llais Powys Region is here to make sure your views and experiences are used by decision-makers to plan and deliver better health and social care services in your local area.
We hear from the public in many different ways. We visit NHS and social care services to talk to patients, residents and carers. We talk to people at public events, and through community groups.
Our Advocacy Service helps people who want to raise a concern about care or treatment.
We use surveys, apps and social media to engage with our community, and we produce reports on what we've heard.
Do you use NHS or social care services?
Then you can help make them better for everyone by telling us about your experiences – good and bad.

In April 2025, Llais Powys visited the Newtown area to talk to people about their experiences with health and social care.
Through over 50 conversations and multiple survey responses, we heard feedback that celebrated local staff and services but also revealed systemic issues and gaps in care. Quotes from residents are included below to reflect the strength of feeling and lived experiences.
In April 2025, Llais Powys undertook a focused community engagement programme in the Newtown locality—the ninth in a rolling programme aligned with the 13-locality model of the Powys Regional Partnership Board. The goal was to gather local insight into health and social care experiences, particularly where people access services within Wales or cross-border in England.

When things go wrong, raising your concern can seem “a step too far” or too time-consuming, especially as it may be at a particularly difficult time.
But raising your concern in the right way is important. It can make a positive difference to others, preventing the same happening to them and ensuring our future care is better.
We can help with complaints advocacy
If you need to raise a concern about an NHS or social care service, you can talk to us. Our trained, dedicated complaints advocacy staff will provide you with the free, independent, and confidential support you are entitled to.
