Professional Support Unit

The Professional Support Unit

The Deanery is responsible for all doctors in training in Wales and for any issues that may arise and prevent progression throughout the training process. To ensure the quality management of postgraduate medical education the Deanery has developed systems to respond as quickly as possible to any concerns raised.

The Professional Support Unit supports all doctors in training whose performance has been affected and provides advice, guidance and information regarding concerns to all parties involved in the management of postgraduate medical training.

The Professional Support Unit is pleased to be contacted for advice and guidance regarding any issues affecting progression through training. This includes liaising with employers and agencies about reasonable adjustments to support disabled trainees.

Bullying and Harassment

Workplace bullying can be defined as persistent unacceptable ‘offensive, intimidating, malicious, insulting or humiliating behaviour, abuse of power or authority which attempts to undermine an individual or group of employees and which may cause them to suffer stress’.

Harassment can be defined as conduct which is unwanted and offensive and affects the dignity of an individual or group of individuals. Whether the harassment is intentional or not is irrelevant; the key point is that it is offensive.
