How to check my Appraisal History

2. Appraisal history on SOAR Primary Care (GPs): • SOAR was designed for GP Appraisal in 2002. As such, SOAR has all GPs’ appraisal history as recorded by the Appraisers… • …but not copies of the Scot 4 forms, unless you used the online version Secondary Care: • SOAR was introduced to Secondary Care in 2012, and as such, only appraisals done on SOAR using the online forms are recorded • We have no function to log old paper interviews on SOAR, only new appraisals using SOAR’s online appraisal forms

3. Access to Appraisal history • Only your current assigned Appraiser can access your appraisal history – no one else • ROs and Appraisal Advisers / Leads can access your Appraisal History, but not your submitted appraisal forms and documents • To access your Appraisal History: • Login to SOAR • Click on “My Appraisals” from menu

4. Login to SOAR • Click My Appraisals • Click Appraisals tab • Your Appraisal History is listed, latest one at top • To view an appraisal’s details, submitted forms / docs, or the Form 4 (if done using SOAR), click on the corresponding notepad icon under the “Edit” column • For GPs, brown notepad icons mean that the appraisal was done using online appraisal forms; white icons signify old/paper forms • For Secondary Care users, only appraisals done using online forms are recorded on SOAR
