The appraisal system
The responsible officer is dependent on the quality of the appraisers. An effective organisational appraisal policy and recognition of the medical appraiser as an important professional role are the cornerstones of the appraisal system. Quality assurance of the medical appraisers is essential.
In this section you will find a range of guidance documents relating to medical appraisal including:
GMC Good Medical Practice framework for appraisal and revalidation
GMC guidance on supporting information
Medical Appraisal Guide (MAG).
Quality Assurance of Medical Appraisers (QAMA).
A number of example appraisal policies can also be found here.
Information relating to patient and colleague feedback mechanisms can be found on the GMC website.
