Guidance

The SuppoRTT for Shielding Trainees Advisory Group (S-STAG) have developed the following resources for trainees who have been shielding due to COVID-19, and their trainers / supervisors.

These are the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges' (AoMRC) recommended questions and actions when planning a return to practice.  These have been taken from their Return to Practice Guidance (2017) which should be used during the SuppoRTT Pre-Return meeting.

It has been recognised that returning to clinical practice after a period of absence (planned or unplanned) can be challenging. HEE North West Office has therefore set up a mentoring scheme to support trainees returning after an absence of three months or more.  This guidance document is for the SuppoRTT Mentor and mentee (returning trainee) to establish their relationship. 

Mentoring is a role that includes coaching, but also embraces broader counselling and support, such as career counselling (Landsberg 1996). Having said that, it is very important as a mentor, to recognise your boundaries with the counselling arena.
