Subject | Mentoring | ||
Description | This practical programme has been run successfully for many years for HEE Yorkshire and the Humber by Coaching and Mentoring Consultants, an established provider of Mentoring Training in the NHS. | ||
Additional information | The remote programme develops mentoring skills which can be used both in formal mentoring and also in a range of leadership and clinical situations with staff, colleagues and patients. It aims to develop participants’ abilities to enable others rather than to prescribe solutions. Developing these skills can be both challenging and rewarding for those whose professional culture is that of expert helping. There is a mixture of taught inputs, demonstration by tutors, small group skills practice, group discussions, and pairs work. The programme is experiential and a significant proportion of time is spent practising skills. Participants work with a facilitator, learning from being a mentor, a mentee, and an observer. Participants bring real issues to discuss when they are mentee: there is no ‘role playing.’ Reflective practice is expected between sessions. Practical and professional issues arising from mentoring are discussed and participants are encouraged to plan how they will take forward the skills back at work. | ||
