Our Research Outcomes

National Healthcare Mentor was founded on extensive research conducted through focus groups and surveys with doctors and dentists. In light of the current retention crisis, a key finding from participating healthcare professionals is that they are more likely to stay within the NHS if they have greater access to personal and professional development opportunities, along with mentors and a supportive community. Additionally, they expressed that they would feel more empowered to drive change at both local and national levels, enhancing patient care and improving NHS systems.

The Ethos of National Healthcare Mentor

The ethos of National Healthcare Mentor is based on the belief that mentoring can play a critical role in helping healthcare professionals to:

  • Enhance their clinical and leadership skills
  • Build resilience and well-being
  • Develop a sense of professional identity and purpose
  • Navigate the complexities of the healthcare system
  • Foster a sense of community and networking
 
The ethos of National Healthcare Mentor is grounded in the recognition that healthcare practitioners are not only professionals but also human beings who can benefit from guidance and support. The programme aims to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where they can share their experiences, learn from one another, and receive constructive feedback.
 

National Healthcare Mentor is also based on the belief that mentoring is a two-way process. Mentees can learn from their mentors, but mentors can also learn from their mentees. The programme is designed to promote a culture of continuous learning and development, where NHS Staff can grow both personally and professionally.

Overall, the ethos of National Healthcare Mentor is centred on creating a positive, supportive, collaborative and empowering environment that enables NHS Staff to thrive and reach their full potential.
