Dr Eleanor Mason

General practitioner with a strong interest in mental health and a keen passion for teaching. Adept at managing teams of staff, both clinical and non-clinical. I am passionate about learning and always striving to advance knowledge. I have a keen awareness of the need to hone and develop teaching to ensure it is appropriate to the learners' needs in addition to the importance of inclusivity to allow all learners to meet their potential. I consider myself to be encouraging, diplomatic and supportive and my demeanour is approachable, calm and friendly.

• Spokesperson for 'Smartphone Free Childhood' - a charity to support paediatric mental health and smartphone addiction - giving regular presentations to parents/schools/healthcare professions as a volunteer
• GP trainer - since 2021, I have experience in clinical and educational supervising. I have supported multiple trainees through their training and helped them pass their exams, particularly those with difficulties in communication with patients/colleagues
• Foundation years teaching during anaesthetic and GP training - I devised and organised a teaching programme called ‘The Competent Junior Doctor - Putting Patient Safety First’ which covered several emergency medical topics to allow FY1s and FY2s to feel more competent in emergency situations. I started this in 2014 and carried this on until 2020. It was also incorporated into KSS foundation curriculum following excellent feedback.
