HSR UK's mentoring programme aims to support the professional - and personal - development of health services and social care researchers and strengthening the HSR community by building links between our members. Our 2023 evaluation revealed that many of our mentees felt "stuck" in their careers and valued the opportunity and space to reflect on next steps and decisions with a senior colleague outside of their own institution and department. Read more about our evaluation and how mentoring supports diversity and inclusion in trustee Gemma McKenna's blog here.
We are currently supporting our third cohort of mentees over 2024, and will be opening applications for our next cohort for 2024-25. If you are based in one of our member organisations and would like to be matched with a mentor or volunteer to be a mentor, then please get in touch with us at [email protected].
Our mentoring programme is only available to people studying or working in HSR UK member organisations, so if your organisation is not a member find out more about how to join here.
