Regardless of your role, as part of your medical appraisal each year you are asked to produce supporting information of clinical and educational activities covering the whole scope of your practice, which evidences and reflects your commitment to delivering and improving on high standard of patient care.
Your supporting information should demonstrate that you have considered and evaluated:
Your appraisal offers you an opportunity to discuss this and reflect on all aspects of your practice with your appraiser, which may highlight areas for further development.
The toolkits listed below are designed to help you prepare for your appraisal, focussing on supporting information. We have tried to develop materials to support all doctors working in primary and secondary care. If you think anything is missing or inaccurate, please let us know (SOAR@nes.scot.nhs.uk).
