The board's predecessor, the Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board was formally created on 1 October 2009 when the Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University NHS Trust formally merged with the local health boards of Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend. The headquarters for Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University NHS Trust (and the existing health board) is located in Baglan Bay, Port Talbot and the first Chief Executive was Paul Williams. The Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University NHS Trust was in turn formed on 1 April 2008 from the merger of Swansea NHS Trust and Bro Morgannwg NHS Trust. From 1 April 2019, the Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board was renamed to the Swansea Bay University Health Board following exchanges of authority with the neighbouring Cwm Taf University Health Board (renamed to the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board), which took over the control of providing health services in Bridgend from the Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board.
SBUHB serves 390,000 people and employs 12,500 staff. The health board has a budget of £1 billion, and is a designated university local health board linked to Swansea University.[3] Training centres are located at Singleton Hospital, Morriston Hospital and Phillips Parade Children's Orthopaedic Clinic.
On October 22, 2020, it was announced that Mark Hackett would take over as Chief Executive from the retiring Tracy Myhill. The appointment is effective as of 1 January 2021.[4]

Performanceedit
In September 2016, Welsh Government placed the health board (then Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board) into targeted intervention status as part of NHS Wales Escalation and Intervention. The Health Board was de-escalated into 'enchanted monitoring' status, in a statement from the Minister for Health and Social Services on 7 October 2020 praising the Board's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and approach to performance of key areas including cancer and infections.[6]
In 2018/19, the health board achieved the following against key priority measures:[7]
74.5% of patients waiting less than 4 hours in ED (Welsh Government target is 95%)
653 patients waited longer than 12 hours in ED (Welsh Government target is 0)
62% of stroke patients had a direct admission within 1 hour (target is 47%)
96% of stroke patients were assessed by a specialist within 24 hours (target is 87%)
236 outpatients were waiting longer than 26 weeks for treatment (target is 0)
401 outpatients were waiting over 8 weeks for diagnostics (target is 480)
No patients waited longer than 14 weeks for therapy care (target is 0)
There were 3 cases of C.difficile health care acquired infection (target is less than 17)
There were 14 cases of S.Aureus Bacteraemia health care acquired infection (target is less than 11)
There were 27 cases of E.Coli Bacteraemia health care acquired infection (target is less than 41)
Use of the private sectoredit
In 2015-6 the board sent 1,599 patients to private sector providers for elective procedures to reduce waiting times because of its lack of capacity at a cost of £3.74 million, compared to 317 in 2014-5 and 160 in 2013–4.[8]
