The College is to explore the potential of mentoring to improve working relationships and, ultimately, standards of care
According to Greek mythology, Odysseus chose his trusted friend Mentor to guide his son, Telemachus. Mentor did so with the wisdom of the goddess Athena and has subsequently given his name to the process in which a trusted friend or colleague gives guidance, challenge and support in the pursuit of personal achievement and career goals.

 The £4.2m Lister Project would allow the College to develop as a public learning space while maintaining its primary role as a self-funding, charitable body for professional education.
In recent months, the RCSEd has released exciting visuals of the architectural designs showing how the project would transform the Museum into a major learning space and visitor attraction.
Talking about why the project is relevant to the College’s 20,000 Fellows, Members, and Affiliates, Director of Heritage, Chris Henry explains: “The project protects and expands the College’s heritage assets. It will improve any member’s visit by providing easy access to the buildings and will build upon the reputation of the College and preserve the stories and work of Fellows and Members. The new museum will act as the collective memory of the institution.
