Mentoring

Our mentoring scheme will offer you a unique opportunity for career development and support by pairing you with a trusted mentor with the relevant skills and knowledge.

About mentoring

We offer two individual programmes, for developing health professionals and for academics.

You can be part of one or both, mentor and/or be mentored.

Scheme details

Our rheumatology researchers mentoring scheme is targeted to support a wide range of potential researchers to develop their academic interests and career ambitions.

Whether you are an experienced consultant looking to move into an academic career, an early career researcher, or have no research experience but an interest or idea you’d like support to develop, then we encourage you to apply.

The scheme is intended to encourage autonomy and self-development and mentors are not expected to collaborate on projects. The mentoring scheme aims to support a wide range of potential researchers. Whether you are an experienced consultant looking to move into an academic career, an early career researcher, or have no research experience yet but an interest or idea you’d like support to develop, then we encourage you to apply.

Mentoring relationships can be as long or short as you require and can be conducted face to face, phone, email or virtually.
