Welsh definition: A clinical attachment allows an international medical graduate to gain an overview of medical processes and systems in the UK, specifically in the NHS, by observing a consultant in a relevant speciality at work. During the attachment, the doctor is not given any responsibility and is not able to make clinical decisions or give clinical advice. After a set period observing the consultant, the graduate may start to take on some limited clinical duties.
