As a clinically-led organisation, we aim to support professional development and leadership across our workforce.
As an NGH junior doctor, you'll have access to a range of development support and opportunities.
Medical education
We have a dedicated medical education team to support your professional journey whether you're in your first post-graduate role or a senior doctor.
This includes access to our on-site simulation training hub, and point-of-care simulation training led by our innovative resus team.
As well as developing your clinical skills in a multi-disciplinary team, scenario-based simulation incorporates human factors training, helping you to strengthen your resilience and understand how you respond to different situations.
We deliver a huge range of training programmes, both in-house training courses and on behalf of Health Education East Midlands.
Many of our simulation training courses, such as our pre-hospital emergency medicine course, are the only one of their kind in the UK.

The Francis Crick Programme
Our in-house leadership and management development programme designed to equip our leaders and managers with the skills, knowledge and tools they need to provide effective leadership.
Mentoring
Mentoring is a powerful personal development and empowerment tool. It's an effective way of helping people to progress in their careers or address challenges.
We run in-house training courses in mentoring. This means as an NGH doctor, you'll have opportunities to develop a mentor relationship to support you on your professional journey as well as support and training to become a mentor yourself when you feel ready.
Training courses are run in conjunction with Health Education East Midlands.
East Midlands Leadership Academy
We encourage our employees to access East Midlands Leadership Academy courses, workshops and masterclasses
We also support employees to take up coaching programmes offered by the East Midlands Leadership Academy. These short-term programmes provide opportunities to develop your performance through guided conversation and questioning.
Appraisals
We use performance appraisals to review our employees' performance. The appraisal process also helps us to create a plan for employee development through additional training and increased responsibilities. Your appraisal can help you to identify where you want to be and how we can support you to get there.
