A team of mentors has been appointed to support GPNs with a range of issues and provide confidential help and support - available now!

• Are you at risk of burn-out or are you thinking of leaving General Practice?

• Do you need support to plan your personal development or manage the next step in your career?

• Do you need help to manage a difficult conversation with a colleague?

• Perhaps you need support with improving a process within your practice
