BMA Cymru Wales at the Urdd Eisteddfod – unearthing future medical talent

I couldn’t really let the opportunity pass without making mention of BMA Cymru Wales being at the recent Urdd Eisteddfod, held in Cardiff Bay.



As part of our work looking to the future workforce of the NHS in Wales, we had a stand at the Urdd, where youngsters could get advice and information on pursuing a career in medicine. We even gave them “hands-on” experience of surgery, by donning scrubs and performing a “life-saving” operation on Mr Urdd. And judging by the dexterity of most children there, I think we can rest assured that NHS Wales is in safe hands!
