FOCUS ONE - GROUP COACHING
Introducing BSG’s Group Coaching Programme.
We are proud to be partnering with the Clarity Hub to bring members a brand-new group coaching programme.
This programme is designed to support member development and professional growth. Working with the team at the Clarity Hub, we will be identifying and recruiting members to participate in a focused coaching initiative, with an emphasis on cultivating critical skills and competencies aligned with the evolving needs of the future workforce.
The Clarity Hub will provide high-quality coaching to up to 40 BSG members (up to 10 members per group), at four critical stages in their careers. These include pathways to Greater Career Satisfaction, New Professional Role, Back to Work & Retirement.
Our structured 6-session group coaching programme combines evidence-based career development strategies with the power of peer support and expert coaching. Each session builds on the last, guiding you through a proven framework to shift from burnout to balance, from confusion to clarity.
Benefits of the Programme:
- Regular 90-minute group coaching sessions online via Teams
- Workbooks and reflective exercises between sessions
- Tools to identify values, strengths, and purpose
- Real-time peer feedback and supportive accountability
- Led by experienced coaches
- WhatsApp groups to offer support between sessions
Still not sure if it’s for me?
We’re running a taster session online at 4pm on Friday, 19 September. This session will allow you to meet the coaches, hear some of the ways in which we would work with you, and enable you to ask us any questions you may have before you commit.
Please email [email protected] to register.

FOCUS TWO - INTRODUCTION TO COACHING SKILLS
Introduction to Coaching Skills - The BSG is partnering with the Faculty of Medical Coaches to provide its members with a half day virtual workshop on 19 November 2025. Enhance your listening skills and discover how to make conversations with patients and colleagues more effective and productive.
Unlock the power of coaching with our Introduction to Coaching Skills workshop, delivered in partnership with the Faculty of Medical Coaches. Taking place virtually on the afternoon of 19 November 2025, this interactive half-day session is designed to help BSG members strengthen their listening, questioning, and rapport-building abilities—skills that can transform everyday conversations with patients and colleagues. Through practical exercises, live demonstrations, and guided reflection, you’ll explore the foundations of coaching: what it is, how it works, and why it matters. From goal setting and the Circle of Control to knowing when to offer advice and when to ask powerful questions, this workshop will equip you with tools to make your interactions more effective, supportive, and impactful.

Workstream Lead
Dr John McGoran
I have practised as a consultant gastroenterologist in Derry/Londonderry since October 2020, having trained in the UK, including a clinical research fellowship with a focus on upper GI disorders and therapeutic endoscopy. Throughout my career I have had a keen interest in the workplace environment and professional experience.
In 2017 I completed a medical education MSc focusing on career transition and continue to foster an interest in that aspect of professional life as a gastroenterologist and specifically as TPD for gastroenterology in Northern Ireland. I hope that Project90 can be a means through which the BSG supports members going through changes in their careers.
