East of England mentoring programme 

The regional mentoring programme is seeking trainees in paediatrics, and obstetrics and gynaecology for its new programme. The scheme is currently recruiting both mentors (ST5/6/7/8) and mentees (ST1/2/3/4).

Mentorship is recognised as a two-way process key to personal and professional development and is advocated by many professional bodies and royal colleges.

Mentoring gives senior trainees who arekeen to share their experience, the ability to develop valuable leadership skills, while more junior trainees can benefit from increased support and one-on-one guidance.  

​Mentors will receive access to mentoring masterclass bitesize online training that can be taken flexibly around other commitments. There will also be monthly drop-in sessions for trouble shooting and sharing of best practice.

Mentors are then matched with a mentee from their training program. Pairs are encouraged to meet around three times, with clear objectives and focus (chosen by the mentee) for each meeting. 

Please register your interest by completing one of the forms below or share with colleagues you feel may be interested.
