'Stepping up to consultant' is a series of resources to support doctors to successfully transition from trainee to medical specialist.
This worksheet is designed to assist you to map and classify your existing contacts, enabling you to identify key individuals who can support your career growth.
By systematically categorising your contacts, you can develop a strategic action plan to strengthen relationships, expand your network, and enhance your visibility within the medical community in line with your personal goals.
This worksheet includes sections for personal, professional, academic, industry, and online contacts, along with an action plan and follow-up strategies.
