C21 - What does it mean for you?
C21 is a complex and ambitious project to create a truly world-class medical programme. But what does it mean for you in practice? As part of our commitment to ensuring that everyone is aware of the plans and can contribute their development we will be taking the C21 project out and about and delivering a series of interactive presentations in hospitals across Wales as part of the grand rounds and during students’ induction week. Don’t miss out - find out when our Roadshows are coming to you.
