Depending on the issues you face it may be appropriate to talk to:

1. Local trainee representative/Other trainee colleague

2. Educational supervisor/Consultant within team

3. College tutor

4. Clinical lead

Within departments there are frequently meetings for junior doctors held on a regular basis.  These may be a good place to discuss some issues.  If there is not one held in your department, this could be something to approach your Trainee Representative about, to try to set up. Within trusts, there are many potential sources of support.  These can be found through your Postgraduate Medical Centre locally.
