Mentorship Framework
Aetelier Clinical Mentorship is a personalised six-month pathway for clinicians who want structured support across clinical decision-making, governance and sustainable practice development. The programme is deliberately bounded to protect the quality of guidance and avoid unrealistic promises of unlimited or immediate access.
A six-month development plan begins with an initial 60-minute clinical and business assessment, setting goals around scope, confidence, governance and practice growth.
One private 30-minute mentoring session each month, supported by up to two structured case reviews monthly for reflective, case-led learning.
Private weekday messaging support with responses within one working day. Messages outside working hours are treated as received the next working day.
Guidance from an assigned primary mentor, with input from both Aetelier Academy founders where relevant, plus mentorship resources and clinical templates.

Important boundaries
Educational guidance
Mentorship does not replace the mentee’s independent clinical judgement or provide permission to perform a treatment.
No emergency cover
Messaging does not provide emergency or real-time complication management, and responses are within one working day.
Working days
Working days are Monday–Friday, excluding UK bank holidays. Messages received outside working hours are treated as received the next working day.
Prescribing
Prescribing is not included unless separately arranged through an appropriate service.
Consent and data
Patient information and images must be shared only with appropriate consent and anonymisation.
Separate arrangements
Products, models, venue hire and supervised clinical days are not included in the six-month programme unless specified. Alumni who want optional in-person support can enquire through the Alumni In-Person Mentorship section below.
ALUMNI MENTORSHIP
In-Person Mentorship for Aetelier Alumni
Continue developing your skills in your own clinical setting. Aetelier Academy alumni can book an optional in-person mentorship session, with an Aetelier trainer travelling to the alum’s clinic to provide focused guidance around suitable cases and agreed learning goals.
Up to 4 hours
£600
Up to 7 hours
£900
The alum arranges the clinic and identifies suitable patients in advance. The session is tailored to the alum’s course and agreed learning goals. The trainer’s role and involvement in any treatment are agreed before booking. Session availability is confirmed individually.
Before a session is confirmed, the alum and trainer must agree the clinical setting, patient consent, clinical responsibilities, prescribing arrangements and indemnity requirements. The mentorship provides educational guidance and does not replace the alum’s independent clinical judgement or professional responsibilities.
