Private one-to-one surgical training
Learn in theatre, one-to-one, from an experienced consultant.
Surgical Mentors is a private agency connecting early-career doctors who want hands-on surgical experience with consultant surgeons who teach – for an honorarium that reflects their expertise.
For consultant surgeons
Teach – and be paid for it
- An honorarium for every teaching day, agreed in writing before a placement starts.
- One trainee at a time. You decide what they observe, assist with and do – at your pace.
- Your hospital’s approval comes first. We prepare the paperwork with you.
- We handle matching, scheduling and payment, so you can focus on teaching.
For doctors
Real experience, under supervision
- A placement with one consultant, one-to-one.
- Obstetrics, gynaecology and breast surgery to start – more specialties to follow.
- Only a few places, chosen carefully.
- What you may do depends on your licence, the hospital and your consultant. We clarify it before you travel.

Who we are
Surgical Mentors is a private company – not a university, college or charity. We are building a small network of consultant surgeons who enjoy teaching, and doctors who want to learn from them.
