Trainee information
An important and difficult part of training is learning to look after ourselves and find balance in what can be a difficult and stressful job. Wellbeing is a key priority for Trainees in the North of Scotland and there are a number of trainee led wellbeing initiatives.
You can also find useful contacts related to the North Deanery and useful links below.
There is also a number of supportive resources available here: Support and Wellbeing.

OUR AIM Is to allow informal conversations between trainees where we can come together and openly discuss difficult or stressful situations as a group and hopefully share a bite to eat! To improve trainee wellbeing and help support each other.
WHAT? It’s an informal get together to chat over any difficult cases, stressful situations you’ve been involved with or just catch up with other trainees. There will be food and hot drinks provided!
WHY? It can be hard to get together with colleagues for a good ‘get-it-off-your-chest’ type chat when work is always so busy. But friendly, open conversations are an important way to help us share worries and reduce stress.
WHO? For all paediatric trainees working in Aberdeen – those at RACH or neonates welcome!
WHERE? RACH seminar room 1 (3rd floor)
We currently have a buddy system in place for all trainees, including those nearing the end of training who would like a consultant buddy. Please contact Dr Daks Ineife on ineife.daukoru@nhs.scot for more information.
