Abstract

Neuroscience nursing is a fulfilling yet challenging specialty. How we care for and support each other as a profession and in our workplaces has been greatly impacted over the past few years by the stressors of the global COVID-19 pandemic and other issues such as burnout and poor staff retention and recruitment. Our formal and informal processes for education, networking and support were moved online, put on pause or cancelled, with some still not back to pre-pandemic activity. It’s in this difficult environment that mentorship programs around the world are gaining momentum.Mentoring is a form of facilitated supervision. It most commonly involves a mentorship partnership between a more experienced mentor and a less-experienced mentee. The benefits of mentorship programs for healthcare and other professionals are becoming more widely recognised. The Burdett Trust’s Nursing Now Challenge successfully launched their online mentoring platform in 2021, providing opportunities for nursing mentorship connections across the globe (1). The corporate sector has also seen an increased uptake of mentorship programs during the pandemic period. With utilisation of virtual meetings and other technologies, physical distance is no longer a barrier to connecting mentees with the most suitable mentor for them. The ANNA mentorship program was
