-I remember the first day very well.

0:00:000:00:03

-I think I was a bit late.

0:00:030:00:06

-For eight months, our cameras

-have been following students...

0:00:070:00:11

-..from Cardiff University.

0:00:110:00:13

-You have to grow up very quickly.

0:00:140:00:16

-15 individuals on a unique course.

0:00:160:00:19

-We get the creme de la creme.

0:00:190:00:22

-I'm the most competitive.

-I can't wait for the responsibility.

0:00:220:00:26

-From the classroom

-to hospitals across Wales.

0:00:270:00:29

-It's challenging - more challenging

-than anything they've done before.

0:00:300:00:35

-Entering the medical world

-for the first time.

0:00:370:00:41

-Student doctors are like chicks!

0:00:410:00:44

-Yes. Yes, I remember that!

0:00:440:00:47

-It was hilarious!

0:00:480:00:50

-Facing the greatest challenge

-of their young lives.

0:00:510:00:54

-This year was the first time

-I saw someone die.

0:00:540:00:57

-It really hit me

-because she's not going to recover.

0:00:580:01:01

-I feel like I'm drowning,

-that I'm not doing enough work.

0:01:020:01:06

-Medicine is hard -

-the course will be hard.

0:01:060:01:08

-As we chronicle every step

-to become tomorrow's doctors.

0:01:090:01:14

-We'll be the doctor on the scene.

-We'll be in charge.

0:01:140:01:17

-This is superb.

-Why did I decide to do this?

0:01:180:01:21

-This is not about elitism.

0:01:210:01:24

-You have been given a gift.

0:01:250:01:27

-You must use that gift...

0:01:280:01:30

-..to do good.

0:01:300:01:32

-With 3,000 applicants each year...

0:01:400:01:42

-..only one in every 10

-accepts a place...

0:01:430:01:45

-..at Cardiff University's

-School of Medicine.

0:01:460:01:49

-For the successful, there are five

-years of hard work ahead of them.

0:01:510:01:56

-Everybody'll understand

-that medical schools...

0:01:560:01:59

-..are competitive environments.

0:02:000:02:02

-We want the best graduates

-to come from Cardiff.

0:02:020:02:05

-We need to have one of the best

-medical schools in the country.

0:02:050:02:09

-I believe the medical students

-are the creme de la creme.

0:02:090:02:14

-They've worked since the age of 14

-to get into medical school.

0:02:140:02:19

-We have a huge responsibility

-to make sure they flourish.

0:02:190:02:25

-I don't know about you but

-I've always wanted to do medicine.

0:02:270:02:31

-Although I was afraid of blood

-when I was very small...

0:02:310:02:35

-..I was determined to get here.

0:02:350:02:37

-Why did I decide to come here

-to study medicine?

0:02:380:02:41

-Because I lost my father

-when I was nine years old.

0:02:410:02:44

-That shook us as a family.

0:02:450:02:47

-It changed the way I felt

-about health, about life and death.

0:02:480:02:52

-I just wanted

-to make a difference to someone...

0:02:520:02:55

-..who was going through the same.

0:02:560:02:58

-Being a doctor is a privilege.

0:03:000:03:03

-There's no greater feeling

-than someone saying, "Thank you...

0:03:030:03:07

-.."you've helped me

-through a difficult time"...

0:03:080:03:11

-..or, "You've transformed my life

-by giving me a new hip."

0:03:110:03:15

-The gratitude

-affirms why I do this job.

0:03:150:03:19

-It's more of a vocation

-than a job...

0:03:190:03:24

-..because ultimately...

0:03:240:03:27

-..all we want to do is help people.

0:03:270:03:31

-Having been used to

-the narrow roads of rural Llyn...

0:03:340:03:38

-..for Manon, moving to the hustle

-and bustle of the capital city...

0:03:380:03:42

-..has been a challenge in itself.

0:03:420:03:44

-Knowing I had a place at Cardiff

-was great...

0:03:440:03:47

-..but the exams were so hard this

-year, I was worried about my place.

0:03:480:03:52

-It took half an hour

-getting to the university.

0:03:520:03:55

-The first day was very scary...

0:03:550:03:57

-..because there were

-much more people than I expected.

0:03:580:04:01

-It was daunting and

-I was anxious about the first term.

0:04:020:04:05

-The first year is probably

-the most challenging year, in a way.

0:04:060:04:10

-The step between the school system

-and medical school is vast.

0:04:110:04:15

-They all are in shock

-in the first few weeks...

0:04:150:04:18

-..because of the sheer volume...

0:04:180:04:21

-..of information.

0:04:210:04:23

-So much more gets stuffed into

-lectures and we never get to recap.

0:04:240:04:28

-Usually, if we're

-given a lecture on something...

0:04:290:04:32

-..we get homework on it but

-we don't go back to it afterwards.

0:04:320:04:37

-I record some of the lectures

-and try to go over them...

0:04:370:04:42

-..and it takes around two or

-three hours to go over one lecture.

0:04:430:04:47

-They tell you

-to look into things in more detail.

0:04:480:04:51

-The first term

-was very, very difficult.

0:04:520:04:56

-There were

-lots of terms to remember.

0:04:560:04:59

-I'd come from a school...

0:04:590:05:01

-..where sciences were taught

-through the medium of Welsh.

0:05:010:05:05

-I had to translate the terms.

0:05:050:05:07

-I spelt oxygen wrong because

-I was spelling it the Welsh way.

0:05:070:05:12

-I felt like

-the dumbest person in the world.

0:05:130:05:16

-High expectations are placed

-on the students from the outset.

0:05:180:05:22

-Aged 18, most first-year students

-have come straight from school.

0:05:220:05:27

-The first fortnight

-is about making friends, partying...

0:05:270:05:31

-..and having a good time, but then

-then you begin to feel homesick...

0:05:320:05:36

-..and you realize you've left home

-for the first and last time.

0:05:360:05:40

-We had a lecture this morning

-on chemical processes.

0:05:410:05:45

-It was very complicated.

0:05:460:05:48

-It was very complicated.

0:05:480:05:50

-Gwenlli from Trawsfynydd

-finds the workload challenging.

0:05:500:05:55

-It scares me that I have to

-learn everything in five years.

0:05:570:06:00

-Though it sounds like a long time...

0:06:000:06:03

-..it's not long enough

-to learn everything.

0:06:030:06:06

-I'm going home to read up on it

-after this to try and understand it.

0:06:070:06:11

-I don't think I'll understand it.

0:06:110:06:13

-The first three months were hard...

0:06:130:06:16

-..because we were

-unfamiliar with the workload.

0:06:160:06:19

-We were learning a new language. We

-did everything in Welsh at school.

0:06:190:06:24

-It was hard thinking we had to

-teach ourselves medicine...

0:06:250:06:29

-..and not really knowing

-where to start.

0:06:290:06:32

-Cardiff University is one of

-the few schools of medicine...

0:06:350:06:39

-..to offer a unique element.

0:06:400:06:42

-Anatomy.

0:06:420:06:44

-They make us do

-anatomy and dissection...

0:06:440:06:48

-..right at the beginning

-of the course.

0:06:490:06:51

-I enjoyed the dissection.

0:06:520:06:54

-I didn't. Not at all.

0:06:540:06:56

-For a full term they will face

-two anatomy lessons each week.

0:06:560:07:01

-This is the first time...

0:07:020:07:04

-..Elin and Manon have come

-face to face with a dead body.

0:07:040:07:07

-The first session

-was three hours long.

0:07:080:07:10

-I didn't know

-how I was going to cope with it.

0:07:100:07:13

-There were around 30 beds on which

-dead bodies lay in white body bags.

0:07:140:07:19

-Are you nervous?

0:07:190:07:21

-Are you nervous?

-

-Yes.

0:07:210:07:23

-Ready? OK?

0:07:240:07:26

-Every person

-who donates their body to us...

0:07:260:07:29

-..could potentially have been

-someone I've met or spoken to.

0:07:290:07:33

-I've been to visit many people

-who want to speak face to face...

0:07:330:07:37

-..or actually turn up and say,

-"I'd like to speak to someone."

0:07:370:07:42

-Then you have to

-answer their questions.

0:07:420:07:45

-I was traumatised.

-It was a horrendous feeling.

0:07:450:07:49

-It was worse

-than I thought it would be.

0:07:500:07:53

-The first time was very scary,

-having to walk in there.

0:07:530:07:57

-I thought, if I stand in the middle

-and I faint, I won't hit a bag.

0:07:570:08:01

-I knew that'd scare me a lot.

0:08:010:08:03

-The dissection was very strange.

0:08:050:08:08

-It was just so odd.

0:08:080:08:10

-Yes, it was. It felt wrong.

0:08:100:08:12

-At the end of the day,

-it's a person.

0:08:120:08:15

-On day one

-they're introduced to the donor...

0:08:150:08:19

-..and they see them

-in a very different light.

0:08:190:08:23

-I know it sounds stupid

-but he looked so real.

0:08:230:08:27

-I didn't expect him

-to have hair and things still...

0:08:270:08:33

-It felt really odd.

0:08:330:08:36

-The first session was horrendous...

0:08:380:08:41

-..because

-we had to make the first incision.

0:08:410:08:45

-It wasn't nice at all.

0:08:450:08:47

-It's amazing how much you can see -

-the tendons and arteries.

0:08:470:08:51

-And the nerves as well.

0:08:510:08:53

-You wouldn't think

-there were so many in the hand.

0:08:530:08:57

-I'm glad we did it because

-I was terrified before going in.

0:08:570:09:02

-I was shaking.

0:09:020:09:04

-Every time I think,

-this isn't nice...

0:09:040:09:08

-..I remind myself that this donor...

0:09:080:09:11

-..has given it great thought

-before handing over his body.

0:09:110:09:15

-All we can do is be grateful to him

-for what he's given us.

0:09:150:09:19

-This is so much more complex

-than you'd ever imagine.

0:09:200:09:23

-It's very overwhelming at first.

0:09:230:09:26

-I really enjoyed it.

-I felt we were learning a lot.

0:09:270:09:30

-I really didn't like it.

-It was more to do with the smell.

0:09:300:09:34

-I couldn't

-cope with the smell at all.

0:09:340:09:37

-Also having to go home in the same

-clothes and having to wash them.

0:09:370:09:42

-You drew a lot of sketches.

-Elin has an anatomy bible!

0:09:420:09:47

-While first years

-deal with the dead...

0:09:500:09:54

-..third years try to save the living

-in theatre for the first time.

0:09:540:09:58

-I think the third year

-is incredibly challenging.

0:09:590:10:02

-I'd say it's the most challenging

-year in any school of medicine.

0:10:030:10:09

-They go from being taught

-in a classroom setting...

0:10:090:10:12

-..where it's comfortable

-and they're with their peers...

0:10:130:10:17

-..to an unscripted hospital setting.

0:10:170:10:21

-Our young students

-have to deal with that.

0:10:210:10:24

-In Bridgend, David is in the middle

-of an oncology block....

0:10:260:10:30

-..where he'll observe open surgery.

0:10:310:10:34

-The first time I was in surgery,

-I enjoyed it, it was interesting.

0:10:340:10:38

-It's interesting to see new surgery.

-It looks like something from a film.

0:10:380:10:43

-Today he's

-joining the surgical team...

0:10:440:10:47

-..tasked with removing colon cancer.

0:10:470:10:50

-This patient has colon cancer.

0:10:500:10:53

-Today's aim

-is to remove that part of the colon.

0:10:540:10:57

-We're currently

-preparing the patient for surgery.

0:10:590:11:03

-He's lying on the table and

-we're going to insert a catheter.

0:11:030:11:07

-David's been given the opportunity

-to practise on a dummy before...

0:11:070:11:12

-..but never on a real person,

-so this is good practice.

0:11:120:11:16

-It's my first time.

0:11:160:11:18

-We'll see how it goes.

0:11:180:11:20

-I went in and the doctor asked me

-to insert the catheter.

0:11:210:11:25

-I also did a PR exam. I could feel

-the cancer. It was enormous.

0:11:250:11:30

-As it's a real patient,

-I don't want to do anything wrong.

0:11:300:11:34

-I was conscious

-of the patient's safety...

0:11:340:11:37

-..and having the professionals

-watch me was daunting.

0:11:370:11:41

-So the patient had cancer

-in his rectum...

0:11:460:11:51

-..and the only way

-of making him better...

0:11:520:11:55

-..was to remove the whole thing.

0:11:550:11:57

-They removed the rectum and colon

-because it was aggressive cancer.

0:11:570:12:02

-They believe

-the surgery went well...

0:12:050:12:08

-..but the thing about cancer

-is that it's so unpredictable.

0:12:080:12:12

-So, tumour. Have a good feel.

0:12:130:12:16

-Feel the tumour.

-It's large, isn't it?

0:12:160:12:19

-It's hard. It's incredibly hard.

0:12:190:12:22

-Compare it

-to how soft this part is.

0:12:220:12:26

-You can see how the tumour

-sucks the tissues into it.

0:12:260:12:29

-It sucks them into it.

0:12:300:12:32

-It looks as though part of the colon

-has been removed successfully.

0:12:320:12:37

-We're very happy about that.

0:12:380:12:40

-I hope he'll recover well

-after the surgery.

0:12:410:12:45

-Though the surgery was a success...

0:12:470:12:50

-..the patient lost his battle

-with cancer two months later.

0:12:500:12:56

-It's sad.

0:12:560:12:58

-That's what I realized

-on the cancer block.

0:12:580:13:02

-It's unpredictable.

0:13:020:13:05

-For our young students,

-years of enthusiastic study...

0:13:170:13:21

-..has led to a place

-at the School of Medicine.

0:13:210:13:25

-But halfway through the term,

-far from home for the first time...

0:13:250:13:29

-..the enormity of the challenge

-is obvious.

0:13:290:13:32

-I leave some lectures with no idea

-what's just been discussed.

0:13:330:13:38

-Once I think something's difficult,

-it gets more and more difficult.

0:13:380:13:43

-I feel like I can't take in

-any more information.

0:13:430:13:46

-Everyone says that the first term...

0:13:460:13:49

-..is a bit of a shock.

0:13:490:13:51

-The main aim of the first term...

0:13:510:13:54

-..is to get everyone

-up to a certain level.

0:13:540:13:57

-Sitting in a group,

-listening to people's answers...

0:13:570:14:01

-..and hearing

-how much they know...

0:14:010:14:03

-..makes me think there's no point

-trying to compete with them...

0:14:040:14:08

-..because I'll never know

-as much as them.

0:14:080:14:11

-Everything was new at the start.

-There was so much to learn.

0:14:110:14:16

-You just have to

-take stock and realize...

0:14:170:14:20

-..there's a reason

-why it's a five-year course.

0:14:200:14:23

-You don't have to learn it all

-in the first term of the first year.

0:14:240:14:28

-Medicine is hard.

-The course is going to be hard.

0:14:280:14:32

-It's going to be more challenging

-than anything they've done before...

0:14:320:14:38

-..but they have to get through that

-stretch from September to Christmas.

0:14:380:14:43

-It's a challenge

-because it's difficult.

0:14:430:14:46

-A lot of us in the first year have

-been scared and lost confidence.

0:14:490:14:54

-In the first term, really.

0:14:540:14:56

-We notice how much other people know

-and feel as if we don't know enough.

0:14:570:15:01

-By the end of the first year...

0:15:020:15:04

-..it was hard to cope...

0:15:040:15:07

-..with all the work...

0:15:070:15:09

-..that had piled up.

0:15:090:15:11

-By the time

-I went home for Christmas, I felt...

0:15:120:15:15

-..really low.

0:15:170:15:19

-I feel like I'm drowning

-and that I'm not doing enough work.

0:15:190:15:23

-I don't know how I'll have time to

-do more work than I'm already doing.

0:15:230:15:28

-There have been plenty of times

-where I've thought to myself...

0:15:280:15:33

-..wow, this is a lot of work.

0:15:330:15:35

-Am I cut out to do this?

0:15:360:15:38

-But it's good when you know

-what's wrong with the patient...

0:15:390:15:43

-..and you know

-exactly what to do to treat him.

0:15:440:15:47

-Having reached the fifth year,

-Guto and his friends...

0:15:500:15:53

-..are on the brink

-of becoming doctors.

0:15:540:15:56

-Since we're in the final year,

-there are more expectations on us.

0:15:560:16:01

-They expect us to be

-more involved with patients...

0:16:020:16:07

-..and do most of the jobs

-the junior doctors do.

0:16:080:16:11

-It boosts your confidence because

-every placement is different.

0:16:110:16:16

-You get used to taking blood

-and inserting cannulas and so on.

0:16:160:16:21

-They become

-routine practices to you.

0:16:220:16:24

-Our job

-is to build their confidence...

0:16:250:16:27

-..around their knowledge

-and ability.

0:16:280:16:30

-It's not just about

-knowing everything about medicine.

0:16:300:16:34

-You also need to know everything

-about human interaction.

0:16:340:16:38

-I've read through

-your notes quickly.

0:16:380:16:41

-I hear that you've been falling

-and collapsing.

0:16:420:16:47

-Yes, I have.

0:16:470:16:50

-He's falling

-and collapsing regularly.

0:16:500:16:53

-He understands we have to find out

-what's causing this...

0:16:530:16:57

-..before we send him home...

0:16:580:17:00

-..for his own safety.

0:17:000:17:02

-Do you have pain in your stomach?

0:17:020:17:03

-Do you have pain in your stomach?

-

-No. I'm not pregnant either!

0:17:030:17:06

-You've had surgery before,

-haven't you?

0:17:070:17:10

-Yes, on this side.

0:17:100:17:12

-Can you cough?

0:17:160:17:18

-He has hernias because

-he's had previous stomach surgery.

0:17:210:17:25

-Making incisions in the skin

-is more likely to cause hernias.

0:17:260:17:30

-Incisional hernias.

0:17:300:17:32

-Relax.

0:17:320:17:34

-That's very stiff.

0:17:360:17:38

-The right leg is worse...

0:17:390:17:42

-..after the last time I fell.

0:17:420:17:45

-The fact it's weak and stiff...

0:17:450:17:49

-..fits in

-with the diagnosis of a stroke.

0:17:490:17:52

-If we don't make sure

-he's safe to go home...

0:17:520:17:55

-..then we're at fault...

0:17:560:17:59

-..because

-we haven't done our job properly.

0:17:590:18:03

-Our curriculum is about

-understanding patient need...

0:18:030:18:06

-..communicating with them

-and doing old-fashioned doctoring.

0:18:060:18:11

-The doctor

-being the fabric of the community...

0:18:110:18:14

-..and that constant interaction

-with patients being critical...

0:18:150:18:18

-..in understanding their need.

0:18:190:18:20

-..in understanding their need.

-

-Thank you very much.

0:18:200:18:22

-After a heavy term of study,

-the first-year students...

0:18:240:18:28

-..are itching

-to go out on placement in hospitals.

0:18:280:18:32

-The first term has been hectic.

0:18:320:18:34

-They've tried to cram in

-all the science.

0:18:340:18:38

-We're sitting exams

-after Christmas....

0:18:380:18:41

-..so we have to try and learn

-as much as we can.

0:18:410:18:45

-It's been a heavy workload.

0:18:450:18:47

-I'm really looking forward to

-going on placements after Christmas.

0:18:480:18:52

-That keeps me motivated.

0:18:530:18:55

-Come January...

0:18:550:18:57

-..and things change.

0:18:570:18:59

-They start feeling like doctors.

0:19:000:19:02

-They think, 'Yes, this is

-why I want to be a doctor.'

0:19:030:19:07

-It puts all the work

-during the first term into context.

0:19:070:19:11

-It comes to life after Christmas.

0:19:110:19:13

-Those first three months

-are difficult, aren't they?

0:19:140:19:18

-Before Christmas.

0:19:180:19:20

-It got better after that.

0:19:200:19:22

-It was great after

-the first three months were over.

0:19:230:19:26

-I enjoyed realizing that medicine

-is what I really want to do.

0:19:260:19:31

-It's why I'm here, but we were

-really thrown in the deep end.

0:19:310:19:35

-It was a lot more clinical

-after Christmas.

0:19:350:19:38

-It reminded us

-why we wanted to do medicine.

0:19:380:19:42

-At the moment,

-I'm keen to go into hospitals...

0:19:420:19:46

-..and visit real patients,

-that's why I'm here.

0:19:470:19:50

-A doctor

-should be mixing with the patients.

0:19:500:19:54

-It's nice having you home.

-I've been looking forward to this.

0:20:010:20:06

-I've missed you terribly

-over the last few months.

0:20:060:20:10

-We're so proud of her. She's worked

-very hard to get where she is.

0:20:120:20:17

-We're very proud.

0:20:200:20:22

-I'll have to get used

-to speaking English when I go back.

0:20:230:20:26

-That was the biggest thing.

0:20:270:20:28

-That was the biggest thing.

-

-Speaking English, yes.

0:20:280:20:29

-Living with seven people

-who speak English.

0:20:300:20:33

-A lack of Welsh-speaking doctors

-in Wales is worrying.

0:20:340:20:39

-Studying medicine at Cardiff...

0:20:400:20:43

-..where I can do part of my course

-in Welsh can't be beaten.

0:20:430:20:47

-I know I want to work in Wales -

-not just Wales but North Wales.

0:20:470:20:52

-I want to work as a doctor

-in my own community.

0:20:520:20:56

-It's important

-that patients have the option...

0:20:560:20:59

-..of being treated in Welsh.

0:21:000:21:02

-We all know that older people

-who have dementia...

0:21:020:21:08

-..as well as young children

-don't understand English...

0:21:080:21:12

-..so how can they be fully assessed?

0:21:120:21:16

-There are also other people...

0:21:160:21:19

-..who are fluent in both languages

-and happy enough to speak English...

0:21:190:21:24

-..but once they're ill, they just

-want to speak their mother tongue.

0:21:240:21:28

-Why shouldn't they have the option?

0:21:280:21:31

-I've got good veins.

0:21:310:21:32

-I've got good veins.

-

-Incredibly good veins.

0:21:320:21:34

-Mrs Griffiths is 101...

0:21:340:21:37

-..next month?

0:21:380:21:40

-Yes, next month.

0:21:400:21:42

-You're looking good for your age.

0:21:420:21:45

-To raise awareness of Welsh

-and attract new students...

0:21:460:21:49

-..the university

-works alongside Y Coleg Cymraeg.

0:21:500:21:53

-Y Coleg Cymraeg

-has given me the opportunity...

0:21:530:21:56

-..to develop medical studies

-through the medium of Welsh.

0:21:570:22:00

-I agreed about a month ago...

0:22:010:22:03

-..because they've asked me

-to give a lecture on orthopaedics...

0:22:040:22:08

-..to everyone

-through the medium of Welsh.

0:22:080:22:11

-I'm starting to cry now!

0:22:110:22:14

-Sorry, to 300 students...

0:22:140:22:16

-..through the medium of Welsh.

0:22:160:22:20

-Awen will lecture to all first years

-through the medium of Welsh.

0:22:200:22:25

-Something that has never happened

-before in the university's history.

0:22:250:22:30

-I felt very proud and honoured to be

-giving a medical lecture in Welsh.

0:22:300:22:36

-The first of its kind in the world.

0:22:360:22:39

-It's a big change but I'm surprised

-how quickly I've got used to it.

0:22:420:22:47

-I already feel,

-after 10 weeks of being here...

0:22:470:22:50

-..far more independent.

0:22:500:22:52

-Thinking of catching a taxi,

-bus or train by myself before...

0:22:520:22:57

-..it sounds pathetic,

-but I didn't have to do it...

0:22:570:23:00

-..because

-I lived in a small village.

0:23:010:23:03

-I'm already broadening my horizons.

-I feel far more confident.

0:23:030:23:09

-You see things

-you'd never normally see.

0:23:100:23:13

-It's a shock to have to face up to

-that. You have to grow up quickly.
