Description
Applications are invited to provide individual psychological support for trainees across the East of England referred to the Professional Support and Well-being Service (PSW) with the aim of supporting trainees with short term psychological support.
The PSW provides a consistent, single point of access to expert advice, guidance and information to all parties involved in the management of medical and dental trainees.
The PSW recognise that there are a range of reasons why a trainee may benefit from psychological support. This can include, but is not limited to, a significant life event, suffering from stress and/or anxiety, a way to improve or better understand behaviour due to experiencing a significant event at work.
Before a trainee doctor or dentist is referred for psychological support, they must be referred to the PSW by one of their educators (i.e. Educational Supervisor, Training Programme Director). Upon receipt of the referral form, the PSW will triage the individual case and make a decision regarding what support would be beneficial to the trainee. In all cases where a trainee is referred to the PSW by their educator, they will have a meeting with their allocated Case Manager before being referred for psychological support.
The provider will be expected to work with trainee doctors and dentists from all specialties. Please review 'Specialty Programmes & Numbers' for the list of specialties. This document will provide helpful information on the types of training undertaken and the number of trainees in each specialty.
Please note, this service can experience peaks and troughs throughout the training year and can be dependent on a number of factors such as Annual Review of Competence Progression (ARCPs), timings of exams etc.
The provider should have an understanding of the work undertaken, as well as the professional commitments, of a trainee doctor or dentist in order to arrange mutually convenient sessions. The provider must be aware and demonstrate understanding that sessions may need to be rearranged at short notice due to emergency clinical situations and changes to rotas or on-call commitments.
