Important – Updated Appraiser Programme in Response to NHS England New Guidance

‘For many doctors the emergence of COVID-19 and its impact on the UK will be one of the most significant things to happen in their career, with a range of both negative and positive consequences. These have been especially intense for doctors at increased personal risk from COVID-19, including those with pre-existing conditions, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) status, increasing age or pregnancy. In this context appraisal is highly relevant as a tool to support doctors and nurture their professional growth in a working environment that will remain disrupted for many. This should be the focus as we move to restart appraisal.’ NHS England and NHS Improvement. September 2020

We now must ensure that the new guidance is taken on board around health and well-being, and will be looking to provide clarity in how this can be best provided through adding in additional time for discussions and scenarios around this topic. Reduction of documentary requirements for the pre-appraisal documentation will be discussed, whilst maintaining the importance of the existing purposes of appraisal in supporting the personal and professional development of doctors.

We have increased our webinar offering to 4 hours in length in response to the new NHS guidance, and to feedback from organisations and doctors that have attended our New Appraiser webinars.
