Appraisal is yearly with revalidation 5-yearly
The trust has information on appraisal and revaliation as does the GMC.
You can contact the Medical Professional Standards Manager for all appraisal queries via e-mail or telephone 0753908399.
Appraisal uses the PReP web application (PReP).
There is an app to make it easier to record CPD. It is available here.
Please ask Christene Swampillai for a list of appraisers.
Appraisal discussions are between the consultant and the appraiser. However, the department has agreed that discussion should cover:
- CPD for the specialist on-call work that a consultant is covering (eg. obstetrics/vascular/neurosurgery emergencies for the general on-call rota).
- Updates for any relevant new equipment introduced since the last appraisal
- Practice emergency front of neck access at least once every 2 years (available as tea trolley training and at audit days).
