Our fully funded, nationally recognised peer mentoring scheme, which has been offering support and career guidance to colleagues since 2018, has recently been refreshed. All clinicians in primary care are invited to access 1:1 support from our team of experienced mentors. 

The peer mentoring scheme provides one-to-one support for individuals who would like to have a confidential discussion about a range of personal and professional topics. This may include:

  • transitioning into primary care after training,
  • exploration of portfolio careers,
  • personal development opportunities,
  • preventing burn-out,
  • quality improvement,
  • time management,
  • health and wellbeing concerns,
  • business skills,
  • or anything else!


Each mentee has access to up to 12 hours of mentoring over 12 months, with the frequency and length of sessions negotiated between the mentor and mentee depending on individual requirements.

Please see the attached brochure about peer mentoring scheme for the full details. 

The mentors are all experienced clinicians from a range of professional groups, and mentees can select their preferred mentor regardless of role or location. Sessions can be carried out in a mutually agreed venue or online.
