0:00:00 > 0:00:00- *
0:00:00 > 0:00:02- I want to be a GP.
0:00:02 > 0:00:07- I want to return to my locality - and serve my community.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11- For eight months, our cameras - have been following students...
0:00:11 > 0:00:13- ..at Cardiff University.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16- You see things - you'd never normally see.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19- 15 individuals on an unique course.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22- We get the creme de la creme.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26- I'm the most competitive person. - I'm itching for the responsibility.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29- From the classroom - to hospitals across Wales.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35- It's going to be more challenging - than anything they've done before.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- Entering the medical world - for the first time.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Young medical students - are like chicks.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49- Remember that? It was hilarious!
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- Facing the greatest challenge - of their young lives.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- This year was the first time - I saw someone die.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- It really hit me - because she's not going to recover.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05- I feel like I'm drowning, - that I'm not doing enough work.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- Medicine is hard, - the course is hard.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14- We chronicle their every step - to become the doctors of tomorrow.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- We'll be the doctor on the scene. - We'll be in charge.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- This is superb. - What made me want to do this?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- This is not about elitism.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- You have been given a gift.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- You must use that gift...
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- ..to do good.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44- Rural medicine is something - that's not just unique to Wales.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- But it's so important...
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- ..because there's a problem...
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- ..recruiting GPs - and hospital doctors in rural Wales.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- It can be so rewarding...
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- ..working in a community where - you can make such a difference.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Our main incentive - is to attract young doctors...
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- ..to work in these rural locations.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14- At the moment, I must say that it's - reached crisis point in Wales...
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- ..in terms of the lack of GPs - working in rural areas.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- It's difficult - recruiting students and doctors...
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- ..to work in rural hospitals - like Aberystwyth.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31- We must therefore provide - our young doctors with experience...
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- ..so that they will hopefully - be attracted to these locations.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- I live in a very rural area myself.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- I love the place.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- The land and sea, the beaches.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- But I want to be a GP.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53- I want to return to my locality - and serve my community.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- One of the course's highlights - is the rural emergency...
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- ..where students - are tested to the limit.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- They are first to arrive at - a collision scenario in rural Wales.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- WOMAN SCREAMS IN PAIN
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- We completed - an emergency day in rural Wales.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- It was a simulation day.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- We were taken to a field - in the middle of nowhere...
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- ..where we found two casualties.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- It was obvious a - road traffic accident had occurred.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- On the wrong side of the road.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- On the wrong side of the road.- - Catrin came off her bike.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Main injury is her leg.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- This is the first time - for us as students...
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- ..to work out a course of action.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- I'm not sure what paramedics do...
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- ..so it'll be nice to see - how they deal with the situation.
0:03:56 > 0:04:02- There are two casualties on the - ground, along with a bike and car.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07- I don't know if they're aware that - there's another casualty in the car.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- It's those people who need help. - I'm alright.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- As you can see, the casualty - has a sats probe on his finger.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- He's wearing a helmet.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22- They're emphasising how important - it is not to remove the helmet.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Feel the angle of the jaw.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Feel the angle of the jaw.- - The paramedic's with the other now.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- They're deciding which injuries - are the biggest priority...
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- ..and which one to deal with first.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- ..and which one to deal with first.- - Unconscious male, breathing.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39- P1, right?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- P1, right?- - P1 means he's the first priority.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- P2 is over there, as you can see.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- Aargh!
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- They're attaching a splint - to the casualty's leg.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02- They've put her in traction - to straighten the bone she's broken.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- They're fixing a splint.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- Aargh!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- She's given gas and air - to help with the pain.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13- CASUALTY WHIMPERS
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- CASUALTY WHIMPERS- - You're doing really well.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- From paramedics to rural midwives...
0:05:22 > 0:05:27- ..students must realize the - importance of a variety of roles.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Today, Bethan - steps outside the capital city...
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- ..and visits Powys, where - she joins Machynlleth midwife Carys.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- Carys is going to teach me - about her job as a midwife...
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- ..about antenatal checks...
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- ..and about what happens - when babies go home from hospital.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- This is Nia's first baby.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Nia is 16 weeks pregnant.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- We're just going to check her over.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- It's easy to feel, - so if you start from the top...
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- ..it's soft here.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- As you move down, - you feel the ridge...
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- ..that you felt earlier.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10- Can you feel it?
0:06:10 > 0:06:11- Can you feel it?- - Yes, a little baby.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16- You can tell straightaway, can't - you? We're going to listen now.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- You haven't - heard this before, Nia...
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- ..but we're going to be listening - to the baby's heartbeat, OK?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- BABY'S HEARTBEAT
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- It's bizarre, isn't it?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- It's lovely, isn't it?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- I took blood pressure, - listened to babies' heartbeat.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- It was lovely being present...
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- ..when a first-time mother - heard her baby's heartbeat...
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- ..for the first time.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- You could see the emotion in her - eyes. I liked being part of that.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- The little baby's happy in there.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- It's nice - hearing it for the first time.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- I remember - hearing mine for the first time.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- It brings a tear to your eye.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- We'll dry you now.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Next to the clinic is Elin, - who's already a mother.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- She's at the end of her pregnancy - and ready to give birth any day.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23- Look at the shape.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Look at the shape.- - It's all on one side.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Oh, yes, I can feel it.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- You can feel - an entire foot sometimes.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- It kicks? It's a rounded shape.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Yes, it's rounded. - The head is further down.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Just have a feel lower down.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- You can just feel...
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Is that it there? Wow!
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- It's a strong baby.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- You could feel - the spine and the head.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- She was about to pop. - It was incredible.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- How far is Bronglais from your home?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- It usually takes 50 minutes - but when the day comes, 40 minutes!
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- You'll go like the clappers then!
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- The biggest challenge - is remote locations...
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- ..especially in Mid Wales.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- The big hospitals - are 45 minutes or an hour away.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25- If you're giving birth, - reaching hospital quickly is key.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- That's true of any emergency.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- As one of - the most challenging jobs...
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- ..the road to becoming a doctor - is full of twists and turns.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Young students must learn to - cope with the emotional strain...
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- ..that comes - with such an unique profession.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- It's an unique job - - you go from witnessing a birth...
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- ..and all the happiness - that goes with it...
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- ..to witnessing a death, - so the range of emotions is vast.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- This year is the first time - I've seen someone die.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- It's always going to be difficult.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- It was something - I knew was coming...
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- ..but it's not - an easy situation to deal with.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- I'd worry more - if I didn't feel sad afterwards...
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- ..because the fact it's so painful - means that I care.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- There's one man I remember - whom I helped to make a decision.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- He needed surgery to fix his leg...
0:09:31 > 0:09:37- ..and he didn't - respond well at all to surgery.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- After being on my feet with him - all night, keeping him alive...
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- ..I remember his wife flinging - her arms around me in the morning...
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- ..when I sobbed and told her - that he'd passed away.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55- It's a difficult experience but it's - something everyone goes through.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- It's just that doctors - go through it more often.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- It's important that - you don't become blase about it...
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- ..or that it becomes routine.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- There are - fewer young doctors nowadays.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- They work non-stop.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- There's a duty on us as - senior doctors to look after them...
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- ..because we have to remember...
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- ..there's a high suicide rate - among doctors.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- It's almost higher - than any other profession.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- I'm afraid to say - I lost a friend only last year...
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- ..and I don't know - if we looked after him enough.
0:10:42 > 0:10:42- .
0:10:45 > 0:10:45- Subtitles
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- At Cardiff University, students - undergo practical placements...
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- ..to experience healthcare - in a rural setting.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Today, - Catrin is on placement in Brecon...
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- ..at a GPs' practice.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Would it be OK - to send the patient in, please?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- Thank you very much. Thanks. Bye.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- My first patient - is on her way in now.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- I have an entire room - at my disposal...
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- ..as well as a computer - and all this stuff...
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- ..to examine patients.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- I don't know what's wrong with her.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- I don't know what she'll need.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- I've no idea - how to use the computer.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- KNOCK AT DOOR
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- Hi there. I'm Catrin, one of - the medical students from Cardiff.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- I've actually had a headache - for over three weeks.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Tablets aren't touching it...
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- ..so I'm really in a lot of pain.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- OK. Whereabouts is the pain?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- It's here...
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- ..and then it goes onto my forehead.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- It's there all the time.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- There all the time? - And doesn't go away at all?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- OK.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- Are you OK?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- It is painful.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- I feel like - I've got a long way to go...
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- ..before anyone calls me a doctor.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- But I want to be a GP.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- I want to return to my locality...
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- ..and serve my native community.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- Any pain there at all?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- Any double vision?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- I think doctors - in rural locations...
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- ..are proper family GPs.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- They know the families...
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- ..they know - their patients very well.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59- That perhaps doesn't happen - as much in a training hospital.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- I have a few ideas what - could be causing your headache...
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- ..but I couldn't find anything - on an examination...
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- ..that suggested anything nasty.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- Your cerebellum sings were normal. - That means the area here.
0:13:15 > 0:13:21- There are no neurological problems - on the cranial nerve examination.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- I want to be one of those doctors...
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- ..who patients return to - again and again.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- I want to be a doctor - who's willing to see everyone...
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- ..and treat everyone the same.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- I'm willing to do anything - to try and help...
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- ..and make patients' lives better.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- The hardest thing - is figuring out the computer...
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- ..knowing where to put things - and what to click.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- It's a particular system.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- I don't want to - write anything down wrongly...
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- ..because - I'm logging in under his name.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- PHONE RINGS
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Hello?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- Young doctors will be expected...
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- ..to respond to emergency calls - whilst working with other services.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Today, Ainsley and Sam - visit a fire station...
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- ..to learn more - about what's expected of them.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30- Today we've come to - Bridgend fire station.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- We're in Bridgend.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- We're going to be shown around...
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- ..and shown the trucks behind me - and all the equipment.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- We're focusing - on road traffic collisions...
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- ..and how they work with medics.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- We're going to find out - how we can help.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- We're out of the hospital.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- We're going to drive this truck - back home to Cardiff!
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Often when collisions occur...
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- ..individuals - are trapped in their vehicles...
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- ..which puts their lives - and others' in danger.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- What we can look to do - is stabilize the vehicle manually.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- They're going to show us - how they move patients...
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- ..who paramedics - can't carry from their homes.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- They can lift people - who weigh 25 stone.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30- Now Ainsley's having a go.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- Now Ainsley's having a go.- - They have to use a crane...
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- ..because the men can't lift me.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- Back to the midwives in Machynlleth.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- Bethan joins Carys - on a home visit to help a mother...
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- ..who gave birth a week earlier.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- This is Cerin's third baby.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- She has a son called Ioan...
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- ..and a daughter called Erin.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- I've looked after you from - the beginning, since having Ioan.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- That's nice - because we know Cerin well by now.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- Ioan is five years old now.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Are you feeling alright, Cerin?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- Yes. I've had a few pains but...
0:16:33 > 0:16:34- What sort of pains?
0:16:34 > 0:16:35- What sort of pains?- - In the stomach.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- More than I had with the other two.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41- As Cerin's breastfeeding...
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- As Cerin's breastfeeding...- - It should've gone back.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- That's when it hurts the most...
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- ..when I put him on to feed.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54- It's easing now, but each time - I fed him I was having pain.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- I'll just feel the stomach - to see if there's anything.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- The little man is waking up.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- When he was born, he was transferred - to the special care unit...
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- ..and he was there for a couple - of days so I couldn't feed him.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- So it's taken you longer...
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- They took him straight there - because he wasn't breathing.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- It's interesting - seeing the difference...
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- ..in working practices - in cities like Cardiff...
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- ..compared to - more rural settings like this.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- There's more of a sense of community - in rural locations.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Services have to work together.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- People seem more relaxed - and better equipped...
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- ..to form relationships - with patients and co-workers...
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- ..such as the midwives - and pregnant ladies.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Because there are - fewer resources available...
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- ..it's important to be able - to call for help when it's needed.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- Students are given an unique lesson - in the Brecon countryside.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- The rural emergency.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11- Students face a challenge away from - the resources of an urban hospital.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16- As they're first on the scene - and with three casualties...
0:18:16 > 0:18:21- ..it's up to the young doctors - to decide who to prioritise.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- Mountain Rescue has arrived.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- The paramedic's transferred - the information needed...
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- ..in order to triage the casualties.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35- This is P1 and P2 is over there. - They have specialist equipment.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- I'd say - they're going to take over now.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- None of us knows exactly what to do - because we're told what to do.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- You do boom, boom, boom - and you follow a plan.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- But you had to - take the initiative...
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- ..and work as a team.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59- Because everybody's concentrating - on patient one and patient two...
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- ..this man's having a heart attack - and no-one's noticed.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Hold on. - Actually, people have come back.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- The paramedic said - this patient's had aspirin...
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- ..and that he has chest pains.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- It teaches you - not to ignore a person.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- It was easy enough...
0:19:25 > 0:19:30- ..to go straight to the casualty - on the floor who wasn't speaking...
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- ..and ignore the man - who was having a heart attack.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- You have to work as a team. That's - what they were trying to teach us.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- This situation is similar - to what happens in hospital...
0:19:43 > 0:19:48- ..only you don't have - the equipment or the support staff.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- There are only three of them...
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- ..and they have to do everything.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Students must understand...
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- ..that there are different - challenges working in rural Wales...
0:20:02 > 0:20:03- ..as opposed to cities.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- The same resources - aren't always available.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- He's placing - ECG stickers on him now...
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- ..to monitor his heart.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- The biggest challenge is that - the man is having a heart attack.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- People wouldn't normally respond - as quickly as this.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- You might have to wait - two hours or more...
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- ..and you're standing there, - watching them deteriorate.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- We're lucky an anaesthetist is here - because you wouldn't get one...
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- ..in the middle of nowhere - in deepest Wales.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- We wouldn't get this experience - anywhere else.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- It makes studying worthwhile.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- If you're there, - you can practise your skills.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- It teaches you - you're competent enough...
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- ..to help in the real world.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- They've moved the patient - on a stretcher.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- They're hoping to put him - under general anaesthetic.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- He's going to be transported - by ambulance.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15- The driver having the coronary will - be taken to the nearest cath lab...
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- ..to remove the clot in his heart - within the time frame.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Time is of the essence now.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- The Heath is the closest hospital.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- We want to develop medics for Wales, - not just for the world.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- We need them and we need those - who can speak Welsh.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- Rural folk can be - quite different from city folk.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- It's not uncommon for a farmer...
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- ..to battle on with painful knees...
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- ..because he can't take time off - to get a new knee fitted.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- The challenges that recruiting - and retaining doctors in Wales...
0:22:06 > 0:22:11- ..is in a critical phase and - we have to address that challenge.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Part of addressing that challenge - is the idea...
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- ..that if we recruit - more students from Wales...
0:22:18 > 0:22:23- ..there's an increased likelihood - that they'd want to work in Wales.
0:22:25 > 0:22:31- It was an opportunity to see how - healthcare works in a rural setting.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- I'm from a rural background - and I want to eventually return.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- But it's so different...
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- ..working with children and - pregnant women in the community...
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- ..as opposed to a hospital...
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- ..because what you see there - are emergencies and special care.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- It was nice - having the opportunity...
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- ..to see things going well.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- Not all births end up in hospital.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- Women can give birth safely at home.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- It's nice being able to compare - a straightforward birth...
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- ..with a complicated one - where we have to step in to help.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17- Magi Fychan Crowley - was born on 27 May, weighing 7lb 4oz
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Elin and Magi are doing well.
