STW GP Mentoring Service

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

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 and including:

• newly-qualified GPs on the Fellowship scheme
• new partners on the New to Partnership Payment scheme
• locums who may need support to move into salaried roles
• mid-career GPs making career choices including deciding to take on a partnership role
• GPs thinking of returning to the profession

  Your mentor will: 

• hold full registration and a licence to practise with the General Medical Council (GMC)
• 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
• not be subject to interim suspension under section 41A of the Medical Act 1983
• currently be working at least three clinical sessions per week 
• be a trained mentor, part of a group and receiving supervision
• be matched to you - if you require an out of area mentor, this can also be arranged
