Aims This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual mentorship programme in plastic surgery designed for medical students and foundation doctors in the United Kingdom. The programme sought to enhance understanding of common and emergency conditions, provide guidance on the application process for speciality training, and facilitate networking opportunities. Materials and methods The programme consisted of six sessions delivered via Microsoft Teams (Microsoft® Corporation, Redmond, WA) over a four-month period from May to August 2024. Participants completed online pre- and post-mentoring questionnaires. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare paired data responses. Results Ten participants completed both questionnaires; 90% were medical students, and 10% were foundation-year doctors. There was a significant increase in the understanding of common plastic surgery conditions and emergencies (p < 0.05), as well as improved knowledge of the application processes for core surgical training (p < 0.05) and higher speciality training (p < 0.05). Interest in the speciality significantly increased (p < 0.05), and participants were more likely to seek in-person mentorship (p < 0.05). The programme was well-received, with 100% rating it as 'excellent' or 'very good'. Conclusions The virtual mentorship programme effectively enhanced foundational knowledge, career preparation, and mentor-mentee relationships. Its implementation is recommended both alone and in combination with traditional face-to-face mentorship.
