Mentoring for Personalised Care Roles

CPTH is committed to offering and signposting to a range of coaching and mentoring services for primary care general practice staff in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

What is Coaching & Mentoring?

Coaching and mentoring is a key professional development tool to support adult reflective learning. It is used in leadership development, and to support senior managers and clinicians throughout the NHS and to assist the primary care workforce to grow and develop.

Coaching is a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires individuals to maximise their personal and professional potential. It helps to boost morale, increase motivation, engage enthusiasm, reduce levels of stress, improve self-confidence and performance and encourage a more proactive approach to addressing issues and making decisions.

For all Personalised Care staff in General Practice in any of the following roles, the Training Hub will provide you with access to an experienced mentor:
