As a part of an overall strategy, the School has an E-Learning Unit responsible for the development and support of a self-registration e.platform accessible to all doctors and dentists in training as well as those GPs and Consultants who are responsible for supervising their training in the NHS.
As well as signposting quality assured resources provided externally, the e.platform hosts a number of bespoke resources developed in-house targeted at trainees in Wales. All electronic resources developed are mapped to the various curricula that are ratified by PMETB. Some of these electronic resources are designed to be used as stand alone instructional material and others are designed to form a part of a blended approach to medical education.
Below is a small sample of the resources produced by the e-learning unit, some are complete while others are work-in-progress hosted for the benefit of those interested in contributing to the final product.

 This resource is a case based scenario set on a hospital ward. The learner is introduced to the ward and is then guided through taking a pain history. They are also given access to working simulations of all the items they would find on a ward for managing their patients condition.
Every action is assessed and detailed feedback is given at the case conclusion. If the learner has managed the case effectively they are given access to a certificate detailing the competencies they demonstrated. if they do not manage the case effectively they will be given a list of learning materials to review before attempting the scenario again.
The design process has been guided by consultant anesthatists, nurses, and pharmacists to ensure value for a variety of medical staff. This resource is due to be completed in May 2008 and the template used to produce a variety of cases each with specific learning objectives.
