In addition to the professional grades, there are the support services such as administrative and clerical, estates, general/financial management, catering, domestic or health promotion.
 
If you've worked before, then it's almost certain that the skills and experience you have gained in your previous career will be transferable to a new job in the National Health Service.

A new drive to attract more doctors to Wales was launched on 1st February 2012 by the Health Minister Lesley Griffiths.

The fresh campaign Work for Wales is to encourage more doctors to apply to work in Wales.

It begins with the launch of a new website Medical Careers Wales which, for the first time, brings together in one place all the need-to-know information about living and working in Wales as a doctor.
