New member appointed to Hywel Dda University Health Board
Sarah Harraway will be an independent board member, taking over from Delyth Raynsford. Over the last eight years, Ms Raynsford helped the health board make decisions in the best interests of west Wales' residents. Dr Neil Wooding, chair of Hywel Dda University Health Board, said: "We are deeply grateful to Delyth for her eight years of service. "Her wisdom, integrity, and unwavering commitment to the communities of west Wales have left a lasting legacy. "As we welcome Sarah, we also pause to value the strong foundation Delyth built. "We are thrilled to have Sarah join us as an independent member. "Her unique blend of strategic insight, creative thinking, and deep commitment to community engagement will be invaluable as we continue to evolve our services. "I'm very much looking forward to working with her and seeing the positive impact she will bring." Ms Harraway brings a range of experience from across the marketing, photography and NHS sectors. She began her career at Thomson Directories, and began working with the NHS a decade ago. Facing roles such as programme manager at one of NHS England's pioneering vanguard sites, heading outpatient and informatics change programmes, and evaluating healthcare innovations at the Wessex Health Science Network, she has shown her dedication to system redesign and change management. Now based in Ceredigion with her family, Ms Harraway is an active member of her local community and is also learning Welsh. Speaking about her appointment, Ms Harraway said: "I'm very excited to take a break from early retirement to rejoin the NHS – especially so at a time when Hywel Dda is in such an exciting phase of change and development. "I'm passionate about bringing communities into the healthcare ecosystem to ensure that services are truly patient-centric. "I look forward to listening, learning, and contributing to the Board's important work."
