\n\u201cIt will impact my future profession quite significantly\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\nCaradog Davies, medical student<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am going to be randomly allocated to potentially a specialty that I have no interest in, that I have no passion to work within. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot only will that reduce the quality of care that I\u2019ll deliver \u2013 hopefully not, I will try my best – but it will impact my future profession quite significantly.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\u201c[Different] hospitals do have a reputation for training and progressing your profession. When it comes to applying for certain jobs, I was in a position previously where I could have done the training for any job I wanted.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Mr Davies, who wants to be an anaesthetist, said he could now be limited by what specialties are available in at Hywel Dda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said future employers \u201cwill look at our CVs and ask: \u2018why have you not done any specific training\u2019?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spokesperson for the UKFPO said: \u201cAll foundation applicants allocated to Wales will be offered a two-year programme. These programmes are well established and offer a range of experiences and opportunities.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Davies said being away from support networks for a long period could have a detrimental effect on his mental health. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\u201cIt feels unjust. It\u2019s a bit of a kick in the teeth.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\nCaradog Davies, medical student<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\u201cI think if you have worked hard at university and have achieved a higher grade, you should be allowed to choose where you want to train. It feels unjust. It\u2019s a bit of a kick in the teeth.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
