New look for Careers Website

I just wanted to highlight the new Wales Deanery website, which is now taking shape, as part of the Cardiff University Uniweb upgrade. There has been a great deal of change in the shape and scope of medical career pathways over the past few years and the need for up-to-date information has grown.

Everyone from medical students, though to the later stages of training, needs information and signposts to relevant, career development resources. And consultants who support trainees as part of their educational supervisor role need to keep on top of best practice techniques to help trainees reflect on their career plans, options and strategies to deal with changes, to plan accordingly.

With this in mind, all previous content was abandoned and the Careers website section now has two parts containing:
- information and resources for doctors
- information and resources for those giving front line career support

Resources for doctors are organised to guide users through four key stages of career planning:
1. Self assessment (Taking a history)
2. Career Exploration (Examination)
3. Decision making (Diagnosis)
4. Plan implementation (Treatment plan)
Why not take a look for yourself!
