Wessex Buddies Scheme
The Wessex Buddies Scheme is a voluntary, deanery-wide monitor-like scheme in which level 1 paediatric trainees are 'buddied' by level 2 and 3 trainees. The scheme provides training for 'buddies' (initial and ongoing) and a matching process, based on trainees' choice, to combine trainees with similar clinical interests. The scheme also provides ongoing support for all participants, a referral pathway for concerns and a link with the RCPCH mentoring network. Click here for more information |
