HEE KSS Management of Trainees Requiring Additional Support

The postgraduate education department will work closely with HEE KSS in the management of any doctor in training who requires additional support.

Trainees who require additional support might do so to help them to overcome problems threatening completion of their training post or programme. Identifying that an individual needs additional support and is in difficulty is not to label them, but to initiate certain processes intended to help them complete training successfully and continue to contribute to the work of the NHS.

International Medical Graduates

This resource has been created primarily to support IMGs with various practical resources to assist with the transition to the UK. It takes shape in the form of an e-learning package, with the aim to provide IMG doctors with some practical advice and tips in response to some of the common issues that were highlighted in the survey. The underlying key message from all these materials is that “It is okay to ask for help”.

Examination Support

If, like many other trainees, you are experiencing difficulty passing an examination, the first step is to seek feedback, advice and support from your Educational Supervisor. If you would like confidential individual assessment and support, then you can contact the Individual Support Team (IST).

Additional guidelines for trainees requiring support

It is well-known that doctors are at high risk of stress-related problems in addition to physical and mental health issues which may affect any individual.

This guideline is designed as a reference document for trainees who feel they require additional support.  This may be needed to support them in meeting their educational and training needs.  Doctors who have a known physical or mental health problem or suspect they have a physical or mental health problem may also find them of benefit.
