It is the only video conferencing platform for which the NHS has approved the security.

You need to set up your "contacts" before you can start a video conference.

There is no time limit on each video conference.

    Video Conferencing

    This is now the only way to conduct appraisals in NHS England South West and other regions.

    The platform must be agreed between the appraiser and the doctor.

    ​Make sure you have a stable broadband connection and are comfortable before you start.

    The setting at both ends must be confidential.

    Both doctor and appraiser must have all the supporting information at hand during the interview.

    The appraiser must record that the appraisal was undertaken using technology assistance in the free text space associated with the Appraiser’s Statements in the appraisal outputs.

    After your appraisal please leave a comment on the appropriate blog to guide other users in picking their platform.
