Website Domain Names: Our website domains end nhs.wales or gig.cymru, these domains are used for consistency across all NHS Wales sites and are created & managed by our team. If you are considering purchasing a domain name for your site, please be aware that you will be fully responsible for the domain and its renewals.

Search Engine Optimisation: Search Engine Optimisation is the set of actions you can take to help improve your website visibility and ranking in organic search engines results. Here we explain why SEO is important to you and your users, and what steps you can take to improve your ranking in the Search Engine Results Page.

Data Protection Impact Assessment: A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is a process to help you identify and minimise the data protection risks on your website. It is good practice to do a DPIA for tools such as Feedback Forms that require the processing of personal data, also for processing that is likely to result in risk to individuals.
