Overview

BSR’S rheumatology mentoring programme is a member-to-member scheme, matching individuals to an experienced colleague to support and encourage personal and professional development.

What we do

We offer two individual programmes, one for developing rheumatology professionals, and one for academics

About the programme

BSR members can be part of one or both programmes and can register as a mentor and/or be mentored
Relationships can be as long or as short as you need and conducted in a way that suits your needs

As a mentee you can:

Learn from mentor knowledge and expertise to focus on what is needed to grow professionally and realise potential
Gain specific skills and knowledge relevant to personal goals
Develop your professional network

As a mentor you can:

Enhance your own skills in developing others
Gain insights into the needs of newly qualified professionals
Develop strong and enjoyable connections with your peers
Actively engage and help shape the career of fellow members
Take the opportunity to reflect on your career as well as build on your own skillset

My relationship with my mentor is an important part of my transition from doctoral student to post-doctoral researcher

Post-doctoral researcher

It's a very supportive relationship and a safe space to think new thoughts without making commitments

Mentoring's a great opportunity to support an academic trainee from another area working in rheumatology

Trainee

It's been beneficial to have someone outside my organisation – I don't think I would have found such a relationship at this early stage in my career without this scheme
