Doctors (Appraisees) who join a health board are added to SOAR by the local administrative teams after their details have been verified by HR. They are assigned an appraiser designated by the admin team and the Appraisal Lead (though they can request a change if there is a conflict of interest or close socially, e.g. neighbours, previous relationships etc).
It is up to the appraiser and appraisee to liaise and agree meeting date/time/location. The appraiser logs meeting details onto SOAR; and the appraisee completes and submits appraisal forms for sharing prior to meeting.
Post-meeting, the appraiser drafts the summary of the discussions into Form 4; and the appraisee reviews and approves (or make change requests) – when Form 4 is approved, the appraisal is completed.
