Preparing for appraisal:what’s changing ? Dr Paula Wright GP tutor for Newcastle East GP tutor for Sessional GPs Deanery Adviser on Retainer and FCS
Preparing for Appraisal • Form3 • Evidence –general issues & specifics • Pulling it together
Changing emphasis of appraisal • Shift to summative emphasis (to performance review) • Explicit standards of performance against which doctors are judged • Explicit standards of evidence • Will need to be more robust (QA) because of link to revalidation
Form 3 (I) • Factual statement about role (and changes) and working circumstances • Factual statements about Progress against last years “actions” and PDP aims supported by evidence • Factual Statements about personal performance explicitly supported by evidence
Form 3 (II) • Reflective Statements about performance showing insight into level of competence and areas of weakness. • Intentions for developmentlinked to reflections & evidence on performance
FORM3- MGMP • How were learning needs identified ? • Why were these learning activities chosen ? • What reflection has taken place ? • (Difference between GCC and MGMP)
Evidence • Ideally: • Relevant to the doctor’s individual work (not just practice work) • Relevant to patient outcomes (not just process measures) • Objective/ Verifiable/ Validated tool for which there are benchmarks But…. Tension between 1 and 3
Challenge of evidence • Most care is delivered by teams NOT by individuals • So difficult to link clinical OUTCOMES measures to PERSONAL PERFORMANCE (sp locums) • Can audit PROCESS MEASURES linked to personal practice (e.g. BP monitoring, TSH monitoring etc)
So what can we do ? • Aim for personal evidence (personal audit, GPAQ etc) not just practice aggregated data • Personalise the evidence where practice data used: personal role ? • Personal reflection on each item of evidence submitted
Commenting on Evidence in FORM3 • What does this evidence SAY ? • What does it say ABOUT YOU ? • How have YOU CONTRIBUTED to the level of achievement demonstrated ? • How will YOU ALTER YOUR PRACTICE in response to the performance demonstrated ?

Evidence: Maintaining Good medical practice • Educational log of activities with reflections • Last years PDP with statement of what has been achieved and what not (evidence) • Evidence of assessment of knowledge • Structured reflective template • Less useful: Certificates, Handouts or programmes • Note- for revalidation probably determined by colleges (knowledge test)
