    Brief

    Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTM UHB) experiences persistently high rates of missed outpatient appointments, with approximately 64,000 appointments missed over the last 12 months. This challenge costs an estimated £9.6 million annually in avoidable lost value and contributes to longer waiting times, reduced clinical capacity, financial waste and poorer patient experience. Missed appointments are typically caused by practical, behavioural, communication and accessibility barriers—not simply patient choice. These include appointment communication challenges, transport difficulties, geographic isolation, caring responsibilities, socioeconomic factors, digital exclusion, health inequalities and service design issues. Contracts for Innovation Cymru (CfIC) is seeking innovative solutions from any sector or discipline to help overcome these barriers, reduce missed appointments and improve access to planned care. Solutions may address appointment communication, information accessibility, appointment planning and management, behavioural approaches, risk identification, travel barriers, digital tools, community-based support, service redesign or data-driven approaches. Funding Available: £200,000 total budget to support a portfolio of complementary projects. Successful solutions must demonstrate a realistic route to adoption within health and care services, consider affordability and scalability, support Welsh language delivery where appropriate, and deliver measurable improvements in appointment attendance, patient experience, clinic utilisation, waiting times or health equity. Academic research studies without implementation pathways are out of scope.
