South-West SuppoRTT virtual Junior Doctor Forum
Trainees in non-patient-facing roles and other vulnerable groups impacted by the Covid-19 Pandemic
- If you are, have been or may need to shield during the ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic. Or if your clinical role has been significantly adapted to non-patient facing or limited patient contact due to personal vulnerability (eg medical condition or pregnancy)…please read on.
- The South West SuppoRTT team invite you to join a virtual junior doctor forum (vJDF). Our goal is to build a peer support network across the south west for trainees with shared experience of significant challenges and impact on their training as a result of the pandemic. We will host a virtual meeting fortnightly – providing a protected space to discuss experiences, reflect, share ideas and concerns and disseminate useful information.
- First meeting: Wednesday 14th October at 6-7pm
- Guest speaker: Dr Sethina Watson (Anaesthetics Trainee)
Sethina will share her experience of shielding-by-proxy and the work she has done nationally to promote wellbeing for health professionals who have been shielding.
