Mentoring for STW GPs

• 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, including: 
  • Newly-qualified GPs on the GP Fellowship scheme
  • New partners on the New to Partnership Payment Scheme;
  • Locums who may need support to move into salaried roles;
  • Mid-career GPs make career choices including deciding to take on a partnership role;
  • GPs thinking of returning to the profession

• Mentoring is provided in STW by locally-based, trained GPs  

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 and available to conduct one additional session of mentoring per week
