Run an effective Wellbeing Programme at your Trust with National Healthcare Mentor
Doctors within the NHS are reporting significant challenges within our healthcare system. Research conducted by the 2022 GMC national training survey has demonstrated that 63% of trainees and 52% of doctors working as trainers are at ‘moderate’ or ‘high risk’ of burnout. Burnout can ultimately lead to doctors leaving the profession.
An effective mentoring programme has a positive wellbeing impact on staff, making them feel less stressed and more fulfilled at work. These programmes are incredibly cost effective and can save an average Trust £14.245 million. To learn more, click the button below.
Our mission

“A society of healthcare professionals dedicated to fostering a culture of empowerment, growth, and personal wellbeing in the NHS.”
Our programme is built on three foundational pillars:
- Empowerment – equipping healthcare professionals with essential leadership skills to drive positive change and sustainability in the NHS.
- Community – cultivating an engaging, supportive network where collaboration and mutual growth coincide.
- Mentorship & Well-being – offering personalised career guidance and wellness support to enhance both personal and professional journeys.
