What is mentoring?

Mentoring is ‘a developmental partnership through which one person shares knowledge, skills, information and perspective to foster the personal and professional growth of someone else[1]. Having a mentor can help work performance, motivation and engagement, as well as clarification of personal and professional career goals. Mentoring is usually based on a process of support, questioning and listening. 

What can mentoring do for you?

For the mentee
Mentoring provides a safe haven to explore professional development and work-based issues. The mentor provides a sounding board for difficult decisions, an independent view on things, access to knowledge and experience and someone to encourage you when things are not going well. Mentees typically progress faster in their learning than those without a mentor.

For the mentor
Mentoring is a great opportunity to develop skills in developing others. It gives mentors the opportunity to reflect and review their own experience and offer insight into the learning gained. Working with the mentee’s issues often leads to invaluable insights into their own working situation. When asked what they gain from mentoring, mentors often say they gain intellectual challenge and the satisfaction of helping another develop.

How it works

The FMLM mentoring scheme is unique as it offers access to support from across FMLM's diverse membership base which encompasses a variety of specialities and career grades; from undergraduates to senior clinical managers.

The FMLM scheme is invaluable in providing independent support which, unlike schemes provided by training providers and specialty specific colleges is geared towards leadership development.

The FMLM mentoring scheme is open to all career grades and membership types and members can obtain guidance on topics including; careers advice, growing a support network, leadership development opportunities and support as a future clinical fellow.
