The acronym PLATO stands for Postgraduate Learning And Teaching Online. It is a virtual learning environment (VLE) that provides access to the highest quality learning packages and reference materials available to postgraduate medical education in Wales; you can create an account here. These materials have been designed to be used as part of a blended approach to postgraduate medical education that is unique in the UK. Our courses will enable you to develop the core knowledge, skills, and attitudes that form the foundation of competent medical practice in your specialty.

This is a new way of learning for many trainees and educational supervisors. With this in mind we have created demonstrations of the most common activities to make your life a little easier and help you get the most from your courses.

This service is provided in partnership with NLIAH and Health Solutions Wales (HSW) with the aim of providing a single portal for postgraduate medical education and for NHS Wales as a whole.

Learning@NHSWales is available to all Health & Social Care staff offering greater access and flexibility to online learning and knowledge management resources
