Peer Mentoring Training

We provide introductory training for mentors and mentees to help you in your mentoring journey. Throughout your journey we will direct you to information and resources that will help you develop your skills as a mentor.

We would encourage you to read the NHS Lothian Guide for Effective Mentoring before engaging in either our live webinars or online training.

Introductory training

Option 1: Live webinars

We host regular live training webinars via Microsoft Teams for mentors and mentees. We would encourage you to try and join these as your 'first line' option for training, as you will have the opportunity to meet members of the peer mentoring support team who can answer any questions you may have during the training. Join our Teams channel through the link at the bottom of the page, where we post dates of upcoming webinars.

Option 2: Online training

For those who cannot attend the live dates, we have recorded a series of online training videos which can be accessed below (you must log-in to the MED website to access this content).
