Saving vascular surgeons: a personal view of embracing vulnerability through coaching and mentorship
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: I would like to congratulate the authors on conducting the survey of Early Year Consultants in this edition of the JVSGBI and thank the respondents for their honesty in answering the questions.1 The results are worrying but, I am afraid to say, not surprising. As a former consultant vascular surgeon of 11 years standing, I have experienced first-hand the rewards but also the immense pressures and challenges that come with the role. If I had been asked to complete this survey during my first 5 years of practice I would have, unfortunately, been a statistic under every category.
