Addressing the Healthcare Retention Crisis
NHS Charities Together reported that a new survey showed 76% of NHS staff said that have experienced a mental health condition in the last year. Clearly then, being able to provide effect support for healthcare workers is more important than ever.
How does mentoring help healthcare staff with mental health challenges?
Our course operates within a mental health led framework, specifically designed to help mentors recognise signs of burnout and stress in their teams. By providing structured support, healthcare mentors can help colleagues overcome barriers, manage the emotional demands of clinical work, and build long-term resilience.
Who is this course for?
Healthcare mentor training is for managers and team leaders within the healthcare sector. If you are looking for ways to improve staff experiences, promote long-term career development within the industry, and keep providing top tier care, then this is the course for you. Expand your skillset and gain a specialised, accredited, qualification with a program which truly addresses and reflects the details of your work.
Can this qualification be taken by staff working shifts?
Yes. We understand that healthcare schedules are demanding. The course is delivered through 15-minute pre-recorded virtual units, allowing doctors, nurses, and team leaders to fit their learning around shift patterns and clinical duties.
General Management vs. Healthcare Mentoring
Our Level 3 accredited qualification equips team leaders to become mentors with the essential tools to support and lead staff effectively. Healthcare mentors recognise the skills, knowledge, and experience of their teams, and encourage them to flourish in health and social care as a career.
Learners develop their expertise to improve engagement, satisfaction and ultimately retention of care teams. Operating within a mental health led framework, the specialist course covers up to date good practice skills, with modules on overcoming barriers, adapting learning approaches, and enabling mentees to plan for the future of their careers.
What is the difference between a clinical supervisor and a healthcare mentor?
While clinical supervision often focuses on technical skills and patient safety, healthcare mentoring focuses on the individual’s personal and professional growth, career longevity, and emotional wellbeing. Our qualification helps bridge the gap between “management” and “holistic support.”
Do you offer group training for NHS Trusts or private hospitals?
Yes. We provide group discounts for organisations looking to train 10 or more learners. We also partner with healthcare organisations to align our mentoring modules with their specific internal policies and staff development goals.
