Supporting Mentors Scheme

The Dorset Primary Care Training Hub are pleased to introduce The Supporting Mentors Scheme. This funded scheme is a national initiative and is aimed at providing mentoring support for newly qualified and less experienced GPs, whilst also providing development opportunities and new ways to apply their skills and knowledge for longer serving GPs trough the role as mentor. The scheme enables us to provide mentoring support through our experienced and knowledgeable GP Mentors for our newly qualified and less experienced GPs. In joining the scheme, GP mentors can use and share their experience to support GPs who are joining the workforce and beginning their career in general practice.

What to Expect

This scheme will enable GP mentors to connect with newly qualified and less experienced GPs to help them embed into the local general practice environment and become an integral part of the local primary care team.

The scheme provides:

  • Access to fully accredited local GP Mentors with a wealth of knowledge and experience for those looking for a mentor.
  • Funded accredited training for new GP Mentors to equip them with the necessary skills to mentor and ‘give back’ to their GP colleagues. GP mentors will also be entitled to financial reimbursement for the mentor sessions they conduct. If a GP already holds a mentorship qualification (ILM5 in Coaching and Mentoring, or similar) there is no need for them to undertake any additional training. They will be able to deliver mentorship sessions through this scheme (subject to meeting local criteria).

Eligibility

  • Be a GP Fellow on the Dorset newly qualified GP Fellowship scheme.
  • Be a newly qualified GP delivering general practice services in Dorset.

  • Be an experienced and motivated GP, either as a partner or in a salaried post, working in general practice who holds full registration and a licence to practise with the General Medical Council (GMC).
