Blue Buddies act as an informal near to peer mentor by providing support, advice and information. 

Advice may relate to any issues faced by the JMO, including: inappropriate workplace behaviours, having difficult conversations, debriefing after a difficult event, how to manage work life balance, time management, strategies for applying to training programs. 

The Blue Buddy is not a clinical supervisor, informal provider of medical care to JMO’s, responsible for managing JMO under performance or an investigator of alleged bullying or sexual harassment.

​

Blue Buddies wear a blue coloured name badge to make them easily identifiable.
