Appraisal for Surgeons
Appraisal is a process of regular review to ensure that a surgeon is meeting the requirements of the GMC. It also offers surgeons the opportunity to consider their professional development needs.
Appraisal reviews your performance in four areas:
- knowledge, skills and performance
- safety and quality
- communication, partnership, and teamwork
- maintaining trust
