Title:

Medical Mentoring (MEM)

Description:

Welcome to the Medical Mentoring e-learning programme.

Health Education England (HEE) is committed to improving Junior Doctors’ working lives and effective mentoring plays a significant part in the development of a trainee. The resource was initially created to train junior doctors to become mentors within the London and Kent, Surrey and Sussex Deanery, to build an effective peer mentoring network within the Deanery. The decision was later taken to open the Medical Mentoring programme up to the wider NHS.

This e-learning resource has been created so that as a junior doctor you can complete the training to become a mentor to junior doctors without the need to travel to a teaching session. It has been split up into 2 sections so that you can dip in and out whenever it is convenient.

At this time, this programme does not look to address what you should do if you have any mental health or safety concerns with regards to your mentee. Should this be case, please speak to the Peer Mentoring Programme Director within your deanery, or should this role not exist, you should seek further advice from your line manager, Senior Information Risk Officer, Caldicott Guardian or the Dean of your school.
