Guidance Notes

This folder consists of two parts:

·  The Appraisal Documents Forms 1 to 4

·  The Portfolio of Evidence

·  We recommend completing as much as you can electronically as this is currently extremely similar to the documentation you will need to complete for your appraisal next year

Appraisal Documents

·  Form 1: Personal Details

[Self-explanatory]

·  Form 2: Details of your current medical activities

[Give a brief description of your current post]

·  Form 3: Document on which the appraisal discussion will be based

[Will form the basis of your appraisal interview. The more thought that you put into this document, the more you will get out of your appraisal]

·  Form 4: Summary of Appraisal Discussion

[This is the outcome of your work for this appraisal]

Instruction for Forms 1 to 3

·  Forms 1 to 3 should be completed and emailed to the Deanery at least two weeks before the appraisal meeting

·  The Deanery office will email them to your appraiser [This will be another GP Trainee within the Deanery]

·  Form 4: Summary of Appraisal Discussion

This is completed on the appraisal day

o  This us a key document which comes out of your appraisal

o  It is jointly completed by you and your appraiser and should be signed off by both appraisee and appraiser

o  This is the evidence that an appraisal has taken place and is necessary for Revalidation

o  At the end of the ‘Exit Appraisal Day a copy of Form 4 twill be taken by the Deanery Office

o  Keep a copy for your own folder [you will need this for your next appraisal]

o  Your scheme administrator will be notified that you have had an appraisal

o  Your form 4 will be kept confidentially at the Deanery

Portfolio of Evidence

·  The portfolio is a collection of evidence that demonstrates that you are meeting the Good Medical Practice standards

·  This is meant to be a carefully chosen selection of evidence, and should be readily available if records of training have been maintained

·  In future, for most trainees, this will mean printing out selected documents from the e-portfolio

·  Each piece should be listed in the Record of Documentation Supporting Appraisal [Form 3]

·  The second part of this folder has a set of dividers

o  One for each Good Medical Practice heading in which the evidence can be filed

·  The Portfolio of Evidence should be brought to the appraisal meeting and not sent off to the appraiser with the Appraisal Documents

·  On the Appraisal Day, time will be allowed for the inspection of the evidence before the appraisals

Summary of Additional duties / Locum Posts

Locum Work

For short term and ad hoc locums (< 2 weeks in duration)

Date / Hospital/Trust / Specialty / Grade / Duration

NB: During GP Specialty Training, it would be unusual for a trainee to undertake locum work. A trainee should have a discussion with the Program Director if contemplating doing locum work as there might be future implications – such as limiting opportunities to undertake remedial training if an element of nMRCGP were failed
