The Academy of Medical Science’s mentoring programme has over two decades of learning and recently celebrated pairing 1700 mentees with mentors. This event is for individuals from organisations that are working on mentoring programmes and want to share their experiences and learn good practice. This learning will be applicable to many public sector organisations, not just those working in medical sciences.
