Student with Concerns
An important part of your development as a junior doctor is to have the ability to solve
management problems and learn how to represent your point of view in a sensitive and
sensible manner. Whilst we would encourage you to try and resolve your own issues
yourself, you are always welcome to seek advice and support via the Undergraduate
administration team.
Pastoral Care
Our Nurse Education Fellows (Paul Gosling at Eastbourne DGH and Jolie Wilkinson at
Hastings Conquest Hospital) are the first point of call for Pastoral Care for Medical Students.
See their contact details on page 5. They can be reached via text, telephone or email.
Dr Naomi Forder (Trust Pastoral Care Lead) is also available for your pastoral care needs.
She can be contacted at: naomi.forder@nhs.net or (13) 3745

hours a day 365 days a year. They are free to access and through Care First you can contact a
number of different services.
The Undergraduate Team, the Sub Dean or Undergraduate Administrator are also available

Unfortunately there may be occasions where an issue may have to be reported back to your

instances where confidentiality cannot be observed, i.e. in relation to your health and safety
and to that of patients.
