Data collection, service improvement and evaluation

The RDC Programme has defined a data set which is currently being used by health boards offering an RDC service.

Further work is under way to develop a National RDC Dashboard which will automatically collate and present this information. This will enable the WCN and health boards to monitor RDC services across Wales, drive innovation and improve the care pathway of those patients presenting with vague symptoms.

An external evaluation of the RDC programme was published in 2024. This evaluation measured the impact of the national programme, assessed the 'nationally-driven and locally-delivered” approach and provided key conclusions and recommendations to support the sustainability of RDCs across Wales.

The Evaluation of RDCs can be found below:
