STW GP Mentoring Service

 

​

Confidential Mentoring for Shropshire Telford & Wrekin GPs, provided by trained GP mentors who are locally based.

​

The two Mentoring Leads are Dr Melanie Thompson and Dr Rachel Taylor. 

​

Mentoring can be a really positive experience for GPs and can deliver a number of personal and organisational benefits including:

• increased productivity and better time management

• personal and professional development

• increased job-related wellbeing, self-esteem and confidence

• better work-life balance

• preparation for the future and heightened career aspirations

​​

Mentoring is available, free of charge, for any STW GP.

​​

  Your mentor will: 

• be working at least three clinical sessions per week.

• be a trained mentor, part if a group and receiving supervision.

• matched to you - if you require an out of area mentor, this can also be arranged.

• hold full registration and a licence to practise with the GMC and not subject to suspension under section 41A of the Medical Act 1983.

• Meet the requirements for remaining on the NHS England GP Performers List and report to NHS England any concerns that might affect your status on the National Medical Performers List
