The Wales Joint Charter
Foundations from Dialogue on Trust, Equity & Health Data
The Wales Joint Charter
Trust, Equity & Health Data
The Wales Joint Charter is one of the key outcomes of the Health Data Forum Global Hybrid Summit 2025, held in Cardiff.
It captures the shared insights that emerged from our dialogue on trust, transparency, equity and the responsible use of health data in the age of AI.
The Charter is not a final agreement. It is a living foundation for the Real Data, Better AI movement.

The image gallery below presents the key ideas of the Wales Joint Charter in a visual format.
These infographics summarise the main insights that emerged from the Wales dialogue: trust as a relationship, transparency through the Data Promise, equity by design, responsible governance, and the need to build strong data foundations before scaling AI in healthcare.
Together, they offer a quick visual journey through the principles that now guide the next stage of the Health Data Forum journey — from Wales to Bilbao, and from Data First, AI Later to Real Data, Better AI.

From Wales to Bilbao
The Charter now travels with us to the Health Data Forum Global Hybrid Summit 2026 in Bilbao, taking place on 24–25 September 2026.
Bilbao will take the next step: moving from principles to implementation, with a focus on EHDS, genomics, imaging, cybersecurity and trusted secondary use of health data.
