Supporting Clinicians
Working in healthcare can be challenging. We spend our time focussed on helping others and often forget to take care of ourselves. Add to that the requirements of our professional bodies to maintain our competencies, which adds further stress!
LH&W can help. We offer an range of bespoke support options to suit the needs of busy clinicians. course options include coaching, mentoring and, supervision.
What approach is right for me: Coaching, Mentoring, or Supervision?
Supervision, Coaching, and Mentoring are all widely used approaches for developing the skills and knowledge of professionals. While there is some overlap between these approaches, each has its own unique benefits and focus.
Peer Support Facilitation is a group process that is usedin regulated professions suchas physiotherapy. Its primary purpose is to ensure that pro- fessionals are working within their competence and to pro- vide a supportive environment for reflection and learning.The benefits of this approach include improved job perfor- mance, increased confidence, and reduced stress. If you work in isolation then booking group support is an important part of your CPD maintenance.
Coaching is a structured approach to skill-building that focuses on achieving specific goals or outcomes.
It typically involves 6 one- to-one sessions where I will help you to identify areas for improvement and create an action plan to achieve those goals. The benefits of coach- ing include improved perfor- mance, increased motivation, and enhanced career devel- opment.
Mentoring, like coaching,
is an informal approach to development that typically involves me offering guidance and advice based on my career experience. However, men- toring is typically focused on broader career development goals, such as leadership skills or professional networking. There is no limit to sessions but intervals between sessions are usually longer and the mentoring relationship can last many years. The benefits of mentoring include in- creased confidence, improved job satisfaction, and enhanced career progression.
If you are not sure which approach is right for you, don’t worry! We will discuss this free introductory session and decide which approach is right for you. We like to think of these as a “chemistry session” because it is where we can decide if we “click” and can work well together.

...Understanding and knowledge, a compassion that acknowledged that I wasn’t “a number” but a person. honest, real world approach. That was very relieving for me as a disabled person and “lifer” to the medical profession”
