Trainee progress support

As a resident/resident/trainee, you can access confidential one-to-one support from the Professional Support Unit (PSU). 

Training is complex, and many factors can affect your progress — including your working environment, relationships at work, leadership, life events, stress, or anxiety. If something is getting in the way, you don’t have to manage it on your own. 

The PSU provides a supportive, impartial space where you can: 

  • Talk through what’s affecting your progress 

  • Explore what might be getting in the way 

  • Consider your options and next steps 

  • Develop a realistic, manageable plan 

  • You can access the PSU at any point during your training and return whenever you need to. 

We are here to listen without judgement, support you objectively, and help you move forward.
