Ni fydd ehangu’r cyfleoedd ar gyfer addysg feddygol yn y Gogledd a’r Gorllewin yn ddigon, ynddo’i hun, i fynd i’r afael â’r heriau sy’n ein hwynebu o ran cynnal ein gweithlu meddygol. Rhaid inni sicrhau bod maes meddygaeth yn cael ei ystyried yn ddewis gyrfa deniadol a hygyrch.
We have been piloting work experience programmes in GP practices across Wales, which appear to have had a positive impact. Funding has also been made available to support a programme for school pupils interested in applying to medical school. This includes a two-day residential programme, which provides attendees with information about the reality of being a doctor and familiarises them with the admissions processes for medical school. Taken together these are key components of a medical careers framework for Wales.
