* check with your local health boards and colleges who may have more frequent QIA requirements for appraisal.
CPD, PDP, review of Significant Events, self-declarations on Health, Probity, Compliments and Complaints are all expected at your annual appraisals.
For the purposes of medical revalidation, Quality Improvement Activity *, Feedback from Patients and Feedback from Colleagues are required once every 5 years.
Some significant events may lead to QIA projects and this is encouraged. Revalidation/appraisal minimum requirements should not be a deterrent to undertake work that could result in personal development and improved patient care.
