Regional scheme

• Lead: Dr. Sian Alexander
• Mentees: The mentees are soon-to-be ST3s in neurology in the East of England. The soon-to-be ST3s are identified and contacted about 6 months in advance of starting following their recruitment.
• Mentors: Mentors are existing SpRs. Particular effort is made to pair people who have direct experience of the hospital they are working in. There is a "no fault" arrangement where if the mentoring pair doesn't work out for either party, a new arrangement can be made
• Near-peer mentoring scheme pairing up soon-to-be ST3s and more senior SpRs. In addition, many SpRs and consultants in the region are mentors to prospective neurology trainees (FY1-IMT3s) via the national ABNT mentoring scheme.
• The scheme is currently active and has been running since 2017 

• It is worth noting that EoE neurology trainees also benefit from trainee support sessions organised by Susie Hunt on training days (10 a year) which offers a great opportunity for mutual support. The scheme is self-sufficient.

National scheme

ABNT mentoring scheme which pairs prospective neurology trainees with existing trainees and consultants (https://www.theabn.org/page/mentoring)? The ABNT is also putting together a meeting for trainees approaching/in final year of training regarding planning for and working in the first years of consultancy which is maybe a way of offering some mentor-like input on a bigger scale to reflect the challenges that transition poses and we are directly helping with this with the hope that this will be an excellent resource for EoE neurology trainees.
