All Yorkshire and Humber trainees are eligible for coacching sessions with a trained coach
What is coaching?
Coaching is an added-value professional activity. It is protected time for you to think things through in a way that is different to talking things over with a friend, partner, TPD or Educational Supervisor – all people who tend to have another agenda for you. Your coach will support you, and challenge you if necessary, to help you reach a conclusion that is helpful and meaningful to you.

You can have between four and six sessions of coaching. These are free to you. All our coaches are both clinical educators and trained coaches. Your sessions are completely confidential and nothing to do with your performance in training, or your ARCP. We recommend seeing a coach from outside your specialty – a coach is not there to give you advice but to help you solve your own challenges.
Who else has coaching?
Coaching is a normal professional activity in many jobs. The GMC, plus many medical colleges and curricula recognise its benefits.
