Mentoring

2/2/08 Last week I:

• spent an hour mentoring a person in the PCT who was having trouble in her job - I am a mentor in the Dignity in the Workplace Scheme
• mentored a GP who was having trouble with a partnership
• spoke to a solicitor who was representing a mentee of mine and I am to be a witness in a County Court case this Wednesday
• gave a reference for a General Practice which wants to take a project foreward
• wrote a character reference for a refugee Iraqui doctor and sent it to the GMC

Mentoring has been a love of my life and I have published some stuff on the subject.
