Non-engagement (4)

The video was recorded for the purpose of facilitating learner discussions at the Medical Appraisal Scotland appraiser training events.

Simulated discussion of a patient satisfaction questionnaire with a non-engaging appraisee.

For discussion:

Appraisal non-engagement can take different forms.  In this example, the appraisee appeared indifferent when challenged when discussing the patient survey.  What has been your experience in this?

What skills did the appraiser demonstrate to bring the discussion round?  What might you do differently?

Video reflection:

After you have reviewed the video, consider the following:

• Is the video a "High-Quality" appraisal?
• If yes – what did the appraiser do that you thought was good?
• If no – why not?
• If you were the appraiser, how would you have facilitated that discussion?
• Did you pick up on any cues from the appraisee?
• What feedback would you give the appraiser?
• What questions, if any, would you like to ask the tutors on training day?
• What learning are you taking away from this video?

A sample Form 4 has been drafted based on the above video (see bottom of page).  If you were the appraiser drafting the Form 4, how would yours compare?

Use the training course workbook to log your reflections (or you can use the standalone reflective template below instead).

This simulated appraisal discussion is not intended to be the "perfect appraisal": it should be seen as examples of appraisal techniques and is designed as a talking point for training course discussions.  The discussions are based on the roleplaying appraiser/appraisee's own experience.  Any similarities with others' experience is entirely coincidental.

We suggest that, if you have time, you should review the other training videos.

Recorded in June 2024.  If you experience a problem viewing the above video, please visit: https://vimeo.com/953235931
