New mentorship training guide added to National Breast Imaging Academy programme

September 28, 2023

The National Breast Imaging Academy (NBIA) elearning programme now includes a new training guide to boost mentorship of mammography trainees.

The session provides mammography mentors with the tools to support their mentees and encourage them to develop effective learning strategies for success. It will train mentors on how to use coaching exercises with their mentees and to understand the self-coaching their mentees will be undertaking.

Mammography Mentors: A Practical Guide aims to maximise the quality of support provided while recognising the challenges, time constraints and changing digital landscape that mammographers face while being mentors.

This latest resource complements more than 150 resources within the programme which cover topics including mammographic interpretation and interventional skills, breast surgery, risk and prevention.
