Course summary
This MBBCh degree, which we call ‘C21, will prepare you for a rewarding working life as a foundation doctor in the NHS and career beyond. C21 is structured over five years, to allow you to acquire knowledge, clinical skills and professional attitudes within an integrated spiral curriculum. This means you will continually build on what you learn. Our aim is to produce great clinicians who understand people and the environment in which we live.
The C21 programme initially focuses on preparing you for learning in higher education and building a platform for integrated clinical sciences. This is delivered in the classroom, practical classes, lectures and the virtual learning environment. You learn to apply your knowledge in the clinical environment, both in hospital and community settings.
C21 emphasises the importance of learning science in the clinical context, and the central place of the patient in a doctors work. We firmly believe that patients are at the heart of medical education and as such you will be introduced to patients from the first year. You will learn about common medical conditions from real patients, as well as their doctors, in authentic and impressively-equipped facilities.
As you progress through the programme you will find there is increasing emphasis on the acquisition of clinical skills, initially in a simulated environment progressing to extended clinical placements with increasing responsibility in hospital and community settings throughout Wales.
Throughout the course, you are expected to display the professional attributes of a doctor in training. By the time you graduate, you will have demonstrated that care of patients is your first concern. With full engagement in the course, you will be able to apply knowledge and skills in a competent and ethical manner and use your ability to provide leadership and to analyse complex and uncertain situations. You will have achieved all the outcomes and clinical competencies required by the General Medical Council set out in ‘Outcomes for Graduates'.
