about the coaching doctor
My name is Dr Manjiri Shanker and I have been a practising GP for 18 years. As part of my role I have been mentoring and coaching new GP trainees for over 10 years and have also been an appraiser and NHS mentor. All those roles required some element of coaching. However I completed my formal ILM 5 qualification from Oxford Brookes University in October 2017 and as part of the course had to coach volunteers. That was a fantastic year and as you will see from the testimonials I had great feedback. Having now coached a variety of people I have had positive feedback as to how coaching enhanced their lives, allowing time to reflect, to make decisions around personal or professional goals but also allowing clear ways to look fowards to their futures.Coaching can work for you if you need space and time to reflect on your personal, professional development, career or even life goals.
Coaching can take place anywhere as long as we have a quiet background to concentrate so this could be your workplace or now due to so many technological changes I can coach on Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Now more than ever during this COVID 19 pandemic, many of us question our priorities, some people are losing their jobs and have to rethink their careers and many people are rethinking their chosen career or personal paths. Now is the time to reflect look after your own needs and prioritise planning for yourself, your career and personal life.DISCLAIMER:Please note I will not be acting in a medical capacity whilst coaching and will not be indemnified for any medical advice so please be aware of this.If at any point I feel there is a medical need I will redirect you to your own GP for further medical care.

obviously health and motivational change and coaching health professionals, but as my testimonials show my interests lie also in career and professional change and coaching during transitions.
I can coach face-to-face but also now mostly do coaching via Zoom or Microsoft Teams.(UPDATE: I will be coaching mostly on a virtual platform, I will update this in March 2021 when more is known regarding the progression of the COVID 19 pandemic)
