Guidance Notes
NHS England East of England (NHSE EoE) Professional Support & Well-being Service (PSW) aims to promote postgraduate learners' well-being and personal development by providing support and assistance in tackling any personal or professional challenges to progression. We understand how stressful and demanding working as doctors, dentists pharmacists in training can be and the effect that events in our personal lives can have on our wellbeing and work life.
