Thank you KT for mentioning this. It is one of the areas of activities
I am looking at right now :-) You would have guessed that anyway ;-)
One question though: who do you think should pay for this service?
The other area I am seriously looking at came after a chance meeting
with a high powered headhunter (no, it was not my head that was being
hunted!).
She said that many international companies operating in the City have a
'mentoring' service as part of the job perks.
That means that the highly stressed executive (it applies to the top
flight of managers and directors, btw) has access to his or her
personal mentor. The use this service rather than risking all the
fallout of one of their people flipping or having to call the shrinks
in. A kind of a highly personalised safety valve. It costs *a lot*
I know that there are various mentoring schemes around, but my
knowledge of these, on the whole, tell me they are rather pathetic if
not inappropriate attempts at releasing tension of GPs in trouble for
whatever reason.
Do you think that doctors, given the added forthcomign stresses of
clin.gov, etc. and the aftermath of the Bristol cases, would benefit
from such a service?
Again, who do you think should pay?
Comments everybody?
