Your appraiser will contact you to book an appraisal date.
Given the short notice timescale for the reintroduction of appraisals over the coming weeks, we will be flexible and supportive, and allow a slight deferral period for those doctors whose appraisals if needed. No postponement form will be required if your appraisal is delayed a month (unless specifically covering parental leave, sabbatical breaks etc.). Next year your appraisal month will revert to normal. All appraisals must be completed, i.e. written up, agreed and signed off by both parties) by early March 2021. If you should have had an appraisal between April and September 2020 but were marked as an “approved missed appraisal” due to Covid, there is no requirement for your appraisal to take place in this appraisal year. Your next appraisal will take place in the usual due month from April 21, without any detriment to future appraisals or your revalidation recommendations. |
The appraisal year runs from 1st. April to 31st. March.
The NHS area team's appraisal staff will allocate a trained appraiser to you each year and send you his/her contact details, but it is your responsibility to arrange an appraisal each year.
The appointment date may be up to three months before the end of your allocated appraisal month although 9 months must have elapsed between your previous and next appraisal dates.
NORMALLY if you wish to delay your appraisal beyond that timescale you need to make a formal application to the appraisal team. Your appraiser is not able to authorise a delay - you must submit the form.
However, during the Appraisals 2020 approach, there is some flexibility - see notes above.
The appointment needs to be booked at least 28 days beforehand.

If your revalidation date is imminent, make sure your final appraisal is at least 2 months before the revalidation date, and within 365 days of the revalidation date.
