The scheme aims to provide support for Derbyshire Nursing Fellows through mentoring. All Fellows can access mentoring throughout their 24 month fellowship for free with a local trained Primary Care mentor. The sessions will be virtual making it easy to fit around busy schedules. As an eligible Nurse you will have access to 3, 1 hour sessions over the course of your Fellowship.
Their aim is to provide you with support through high quality mentoring and you can use the sessions to work on any personal or professional issue or opportunity you may encounter.

As a Derbyshire Nurse Fellow you should recieve an email from the Health Education Derbyshire Training Hub team with details of how to access the service automatically. Alternatively, you can access the service by following the below simple steps:

• Contact GP-S either using our contact form calling 0115 979 6917 during 9-5pm Monday – Friday or by emailing us and confirm the service you’d like to access (Derbyshire Nursing Fellowship).
• You will then receive a reply from the GP-S team within three working days and be asked to complete an online referral form.
• Once this is complete, you will be given the names and availability of 3-4 mentors via email for you to decide who you’d like to access your sessions with.
• The confirmed mentor will then be formally linked with you and will make contact to introduce themselves, start planning an initial session and send over contracting information within two weeks.
• Mentors will then work with you over the course of your fellowship to provide 3, 1 hour virtual sessions. You may be asked to provide feedback via an online form, emailed to you directly, at certain stages.
• At the end of your fellowship, you will be notified by your mentor that sessions are closing and will be asked to complete a final feedback form.

The scheme is accessible to all Nurse Fellows completing their fellowship within the Health Education Derbyshire Training Hub area.
