If you find that you are struggling whilst in the Royal Glamorgan our first recommendation would be to approach your Clinical Supervisor (usually your consultant) or your Educational Supervisor (if you are unsure who this is, it is usually found on your ePortfolio)
All doctors can access the support of the Cwm Taf Morgannwg Wellbeing service.Â
If you feel that you cannot access these services or you've not received the support you need there are a number of options available to you:
The Foundation Programme Director if Dr Sam Fishpool
IMT and medical StR doctors should approach Dr Tulika Porwal, RCP College Tutor
For any issues relating to the IMT programme itself, especially with regard to rotations, less than full time training, parental leave etc please contact your IMT programme director, Dr Jo Morris, who is based in Prince Charles Hospital.
Dr Raja Biswas is the chair of the Diversity Network and is a wealth of knowledge
You may find support from some of our departmental leads:
Acute Medicine Dr Nia Rathbone
Cardiology Dr Claire Williams
Respiratory Dr Anna Lewis
Endocrinology Dr Phil Evans
Geriatric Medicine Dr Raja Biswas
Gastroenterology Dr David Samuel
General Surgery CD Mr Parin Shan
Urology Lead Mr Tim Appanna
Critical Care Lead Dr Piroska Toth-tarsoly
Orthopaedics CD Ms Awen Iorwerth
