Mentoring built around your challenges
The starting point is simple: what are you finding difficult in practice, and what would genuinely help?
Mentoring is focused on understanding your individual needs, working through the challenges that matter to you and finding realistic, effective ways forward.
The aim is meaningful progress in everyday clinical practice, not just a discussion of theory.
How can mentoring help you?
Whether you have a difficult case, want to develop a particular skill or have questions you’ve always wanted to ask, sessions are tailored to your priorities.
• Find solutions to challenging clinical cases. Discuss assessment, diagnosis and rehabilitation strategies for running injuries and lower-limb conditions, including tendinopathy, bone stress injuries, patellofemoral pain, plantar heel pain and ITB syndrome.
• Develop clinical reasoning and confidence. Explore uncertainties and decisions that arise in everyday practice.
• Identify professional development priorities. Agree areas for growth and useful research papers, educational resources and further learning.
• Apply research to practice. Discuss published evidence, its strengths and limitations, and its implications for patient care.
• Access practical resources. Explore tailored assessment sheets, patient education materials and tools that save time and improve care.
• Make meaningful improvements. Focus on achievable changes that address the challenges you’re actually facing.
One-off sessions or ongoing mentoring
One-off case discussion: Bring a complex clinical case or a specific question. Together we can explore the issues, consider practical management options and identify relevant resources. A single session may be all you need.
Ongoing mentoring: If you’d benefit from deeper development, we can arrange a series of sessions to explore topics in more depth, put ideas into practice and review progress. The format and frequency are agreed around your goals; there is no obligation to commit to a package.
A supportive space to learn and develop
Mentoring is collaborative, approachable and non-judgemental. No question is too basic. You can be open about areas of uncertainty, knowing the focus is on constructive discussion and practical solutions.
Beyond clinical practice
Support can also cover wider professional development, such as social media growth, creating engaging content and designing infographics, then using these skills to promote yourself or your clinic.
Session format and introductory pricing
Introductory launch price: £110 per session. Planned standard price: £150 per session
A session includes approximately 60 minutes of one-to-one online mentoring, relevant supporting resources and reasonable follow-up questions by email.
It is priced as a session with associated support, rather than billed minute-by-minute. Extensive extra case review or substantial bespoke resource development may require a further agreement.
How to enquire and book
Email Tom, [email protected], with the two or three things you’d most like help with. It also helps to say whether you’re looking for a one-off discussion, a number of sessions or ongoing mentoring. Tom will review your goals, discuss the best approach and confirm whether he’s the right person to help. If your needs fall outside his expertise, he may suggest an alternative.
