This section contains a series of articles written by doctors for doctors, providing practical advice on undertaking appraisal.
Collectively, the articles, some of which have already appeared in the medical press, examine different aspects of appraisal, including how to make the process more efficient, getting the most out of appraisal, issues and how to overcome them, and personal accounts of doctors' experiences.
Articles will continue to be added on an ongoing basis. If you feel that an important issue has not being covered, please contact us using the website feedback option and we will be happy to consider it.
