• Doctors who feel they have reached a point in their careers in General Practice where thoughtful reflection on development and future opportunities would be helpful.
• Doctors who are making rapid progress in their career development and want to explore their higher professional expectations.
• Doctors who have arrived at an important professional or personal crossroads and where a mentoring relationship would be helpful in moving them forward.
• Doctors who feel they may not be meeting their own professional potential and wish to explore their concerns in a supportive non-judgemental and confidential relationship.
