Mesur Iechyd Cymru Terms of Reference

The mission of Mesur Iechyd Cymru is to support the use of Welsh-medium health and social care research instruments in Wales and advance methods of translation and validation at a national and international level.

The aim of the groups is to prioritise, develop, validate and disseminate Welsh-medium health and social care research instruments in order to enhance the rigour of research in Wales; respond to the needs of Welsh speakers; and establish the evidence base for good practice across bilingual and multilingual settings.

This will be achieved through the following objectives:

  • Liaise with industry and academia to raise awareness of the need for validated Welsh-medium research instruments
  • Collaborate with CRC Cymru to prioritize their needs
  • Establish frameworks, procedures and resources for developing Welsh-medium research instruments
  • Develop and validate a series of Welsh-medium research instruments that meet the needs of health and social care researchers
  • Establish the evidence base for good practice in the translation of research instruments and advance methods of development for the bilingual and multilingual setting

Members will be drawn from across Wales and will represent the following organisations and professional groups:

  • LLAIS
  • CRC Cymru Methodology Group
  • Translators
  • Terminologists
  • North Wales Organisation for Randomised Trials in Health (NWORTH)
