Understand the setting
Read the NHS Wales and NHS orientation resources, then confirm how your own post is organised. Your contract, employer instructions and agreed role determine local arrangements.
Make a practical arrival plan
Confirm your work base and travel requirements before choosing accommodation. Plan family needs and your own healthcare alongside the first-day reporting arrangements.
Continue learning
ClinicalEdu provides a separate route to healthcare learning. Choose material relevant to your role and discuss local learning needs with your supervisor. Learning online does not replace local induction or establish competence.
