Clinical academics are individuals who have an honorary role with the NHS. It was agreed nationally in Scotland that clinical academics should not have to go through a separate university appraisal and the work they do there should be discussed as part of the "whole practice" appraisal approach.
This applies to both Primary and Secondary Care; and as such SOAR has been set up so facilitate a "joint" appraisal meeting with appraisee, appraiser and university appraiser (referred to as "co-appraiser" on SOAR); unless there has been agreement between the academic institution and the Chief Executive of the NHS Board where an appraisee may have a single appraiser who acts on behalf of both.
For full details of the processes please check out the Academic Medicine form section of the toolkit.
