When the appraisal Form 4 is signed, off, your appraisal forms should be reset and wiped to allow you to start preparing for the next appraisal - apart from information under "My practice" and the "PDP Review" section.
Unless you change specialty or health board, information provided in "Background information" and "Current activities" will not differ much year-on-year - so you just need to edit and update the information as you go.
