Survey on alcohol policy issues

Alcohol Concern Cymru are conducting a survey to gauge the views of those working in primary care on current alcohol policy issues in Wales.

45% of adults in Wales admit to drinking more than the recommended daily amount on at least one day in the past week, including 28% regularly binge drinking (drinking more than double the recommended daily amount over a short period). Alcohol now accounts for over 1,000 deaths in Wales each year.

BMA guide to Welsh Hospitals for Foundation Year one Doctors 2009 – your help is needed

BMA Cymru Wales has been producing a guide to Welsh Hospitals for F1 Doctors for several now years. It provides information about life as a F1 doctor working in Wales and is really well valued by final year students making decision about their future employment. The guide also gives the BMA vital information about living and working conditions in each of the hospitals in Wales, enabling us to work with Trusts to resolve any issues raised.

This year we are inviting current F1 doctors working in Wales to complete the survey online.

The closing date for completed surveys is Monday 6th July 2009.

The survey is sent to all F1 doctors in Wales and forms the basis of this guide, which is due to be published in October 2009. So your contribution is extremely important to us and I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you for your contribution.

And here, perhaps, is the best bit - by completing the survey you will be entered into a prize draw to win an iPod Classic 80G!
