Supporting KSS postgraduate doctors and dentists in training
The KSS PSWS is a bespoke and confidential service dedicated to helping postgraduate doctors in training across the Kent, Surrey and Sussex region to fulfil their career potential. It is now available to doctors in the KSS General Practice training programmes.
To access the service a referral form will need to be completed by a suitable educator within your local education team. The form should be discussed together, and your educator will complete the online KSS PSWS Referral Form. The PSWS are best able to help you and your educators when we understand how the issues you are facing impact on your training and what support has already been offered or provided. The educator is usually your Educational Supervisor, but you can also approach and discuss any issues impacting your training with your Clinical Supervisor, Training Programme Director, Head of School or Director of Medical Education.
If for any reason you feel that you can’t discuss your needs or issues with anyone within your education team, then please contact the PSWS at england.ksspsws.se@nhs.net for a confidential conversation with a member of the team. You can also contact PSWS if you have any questions about the support offered. Your educator can contact PSWS if there is a more urgent issue to consider.
