This toolkit is designed to support you when using the online appraisal forms on SOAR (based on the GMC 4 Domains of GMP), to prepare for your annual appraisal and to inform Revalidation.
This toolkit is intended to help Sessional GPs working in Scotland, particularly those who have no fixed practice base, with preparing and providing supporting information for Appraisal. If you do some Out Of Hours work, make sure you review the OOH GP toolkit as well: you will need to include this in your appraisal evidence.

The main Scottish GP Appraisal Toolkit also contains a series of suggestions for supporting information that you might wish to use for discussion with your appraiser. They include worked examples, and for many GPs these can provide a suitable basis for information for appraisal, even if they have no long-term fixed base of employment.
