Let's all move to Powys!

If yet more research is to be believed, Wales has one of the happiest areas to live in.

Powys is THE number one cheerful place in the whole of the UK based on a sense of wellbeing, adding in factors such as employment, health and educational qualifications.

So this got me thinking about the problems of attracting junior doctors to Wales and making sure that those who do train here, stay here.

Maybe we could set up a training facility for future medics in Powys? There has to be some mileage in selling this happiness story to potential junior doctor applicants to Wales. And maybe it's the answer to our rural health issues too. I can't wait to share this with the Dean when he returns from hols!
