    Prof. Aled Phillips, Cardiff University; Sara Whittam, Cardiff University With data demonstrating a decrease in applications from Welsh students to study medicine at Cardiff University and specifically from Welsh medium schools, this project aims to explore the perceptions and attitudes of prospective Welsh students to studying medicine in Wales. Admissions data shows that the average who applied from Wales fell from 18.6% in 2008 to 14.4% in 2012. What’s more, this fall is even more marked among students of Welsh-medium schools with a 50% decrease (from 108 students applying in 2008 down to 50 in 2012). In our bid to be the location of choice for the best students, we must address this issue in order to meet our vision of subsequently producing and retaining the best doctors for Wales. We intend to analyse the admissions and recent research data to find trends and patterns, with a specific focus on Welsh speaking prospective students, to provide a better understanding of the picture that exists with school engagement and application rates. The second phase will be to engage with schools, prospective students, parents and other stakeholders to capture their positive and negative perceptions and perceived difficulties about applying and studying Medicine at Cardiff University and the preparation they receive. We will compare and contrast Welsh medium schools with other schools in Wales with the intention of gaining a better understanding of the situational, institutional and organisational barriers that exist. This research will in turn better inform how the School of Medicine can support prospective students from Wales, and specifically from Welsh medium schools and provide a strong foundation for targeted marketing material and events.

    Attracting Welsh medical students to Cardiff: An evaluation of attitudes and perceived barriers

    Prof. Aled Phillips, School of Medicine, Cardiff University & Sara Whittam, School of Medicine, Cardiff University

    Background & Context


    Welsh students are deciding to study medicine elsewhere. This is despite concerted efforts to facilitate applications from Welsh students

    including the offer of bilingual


    interviews, the offer of interviews in North Wales and MedWales- a 200 student medical admissions event. This fall has an impact on the C21 vision of producing, attracting and retaining the best doctors for Wales

    and potential to exacerbate the


    ongoing recruitment issues in certain parts of Wales. (Together for Health, 2011)

    Cardiff: Destination of Choice


    The aim of this year 3 SSC is to identify reasons why the numbers of Welsh domicile, and Welsh speaking applicants specifically, have fallen over successive years. The students will initially analyse the admissions data to discover patterns and trends. This analysis will uncover at which stages of the admissions process the Welsh applicants are not successful and whether or not there are patterns in the applicant schools. Using this data, students will choose a representative set of schools to visit. Informational interviews will uncover

    Project Output perceptions that exist about studying medicine at Cardiff amongst pupils, teachers and other key
    influencers, Map of existing patterns and trends in applications from Welsh schools, and Welsh medium schools specifically and the preparation pupils are receiving. Summary of student and key influencer opinion and views about studying medicine at Cardiff Examples of good and bad practice in application and interview support Baseline to further research key influencer opinion and perception and suggest targeted recruitment and admissions interventions
