Personal Learning Needs Assessment Tool

The BMJ Personal Learning Needs Assessment Tool (PLNAT) is an advanced online interactive learning resource which is available to all SAS doctors in Wales.

The PLNAT works by first ascertaining your learning needs through an interactive set of multiple answer questions, following this, the software will suggest learning modules that reflect your strengths and weaknesses in the particular topic.

PLNAT is available in the following 7 specialities: -

• Cardiology
• Diabetes
• GUM
• Psychiatry
• Dermatology
• Geriatrics
• Internal Medicine

All 7 modules are available to all SAS doctors free at the point of use.

Once again, if you like to apply to any of these resources, simply contact training for SAS.

Generic Courses

The Deanery has established a desire for Generic Courses amongst SAS doctors. Generic courses include management skills, such as Leadership and Communication workshops, as well as non-mangement courses in Teaching Techniques and Medical Law.

We hope to roll out the courses over the next few years.

To keep update to date on all our resources, please email training for SAS and ask to be placed on the SAS doctors mailing list.
