New Initiatives

New Initiatives

This newly created workstream takes a lead role in informing and defining strategy for specific projects and initiatives in postgraduate medical and dental education across Wales. This includes leadership and membership of project boards and responsibility for co-ordinating initiatives and co-ordinating their development and implementation.

We provide a focus and co-ordinated lead across the Deanery on a wide variety of specific projects and initiatives and developments in postgraduate medical and dental education across Wales, ensuring that they are delivered on time and on budget.

We oversee the progression of projects through from project development and approval, to development of the research question and study design, assessment of strategic importance, operational feasibility and resource implications.

The iDoc Project

The All-Wales Foundation Programme iDoc Project is an exciting  initiative from the Wales Deanery that has provided trainee doctors (between Oct 2009 and March 2011) with a Smartphone device and a micro SD card and software application containing 17 medical textbooks, enabling access to accurate medical information such as the BNF, Netter’s Atlas of Human Anatomy and the Oxford Handbook of the Foundation Year.  All of these books can be rapidly searched using an electronic search tool that is integrated with the Medhand application on the SD card.  Evaluation of this initiative is still ongoing and participants in the project are  expected to provide formal feedback in the form of  questionnaires and case reports. These will enable us to demonstrate the usefulness of this device and to guide further improvement in both information delivery and just-in-time learning. Preliminary findings from the iDoc project have been presented at the eLearning in Health conference (Aston, June 2011)  and the Association for the Study of Medical Education Annual Scientific Meeting ( Edinburgh, July 2011).
