Coaching & Mentoring

GP Mentoring Programme

The GP Mentoring programme has been delivered by Cornwall Training Hub on behalf on NHS England since 2021, and has primarily supported GPs in their first 2 years in practice who were on the newly qualified fellowship programme.

The Training Hub have supported experienced GPs to train as mentors, gaining accreditation with the EMCC (European Mentoring & Coaching Council) in order to mentor colleagues. Where possible, and dependent on programme capacity, we offer GPs outside of the fellowship programme some funded mentoring support.

How to Access sessions with a GP Mentor

We will then contact you with further information and look to match you will one of our trained GP Mentors if we have the capacity to do so.

Deciding between Coaching or Mentoring

Both Coaching and Mentoring are about learning and personal development, however their approaches can be different.

Coaching

Coaching is usually non directive, and a coach facilitates the development of the coachee by using questioning techniques, tools and frameworks for the coachee to develop and unlock their potential. Coaching helps individuals learn and grow through a collaborative, future focussed, goal-orientated process.

Mentoring

Mentoring provides a developmental relationship in which one person (the Mentor) is usually someone more experienced and knowledgeable in a similar role, providing support and guidance to help another (the Mentee) to grow in their role and increase their potential capability. Mentoring can also use coaching techniques and models in order to do this.
