Good Doctor's Appraisal

If you are a locum doctor and need an appraisal for your CV or to renew your registration, you have come to the right place. In this blog post, we will discuss how to get a good doctor’s appraisal. We will provide you with tips and advice on what to look for when choosing an appraiser, and give you some ideas on how to make your locum doctor appraisal process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Appraisals are a crucial part of your career as a medical professional. Your performance at work often depends on how well you appraise yourself, and what feedback is given back to you by an external assessor. If this process goes wrong or fails to meet expectations then there could be serious consequences for both parties involved – not only in terms of job satisfaction but also financially too!

We have all heard horror stories about locum doctors who did not get good doctor’s appraisal when they needed it most; that was because their previous employer failed them by providing inaccurate information or making false claims against them without proof (i.e., no evidence).  This can lead to unnecessary stress levels that may affect your health adversely

What is a locum doctor?    

A locum doctor is a medical professional who takes on short-term work assignments in different healthcare settings. They can be employed by hospitals, clinics, GPs surgeries and other community health services.    

When you are a locum doctor, it is important that you get an appraisal from a reputable source.  You should never settle for any appraiser who does not have experience with appraising doctors or understands how their work can be assessed.  There are many medical practices looking at employing new staff members these days so don’t let yourself fall victim to them!  A good doctor’s appraisal will give both parties peace of mind and ensure they stay committed long-term relationships, while also keeping costs down by reducing turnover rates within their business (as there will no longer need replacements if someone leaves).     

If you are looking for an appraiser, then there are a few things you should take into account.  The most important thing is to find someone who is impartial and has no connection whatsoever to your previous employer – this will help to maintain the integrity of the appraisal process. You should also check that they are registered with one of the following bodies:

  • British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
  • Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)
  • Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych)

It is also advisable to ask for references from other professionals who have used their services in the past. This will give you a good indication as to whether or not they are reputable and trustworthy.

Once you have found an appraiser, the next step is to prepare for the appraisal itself.  This means gathering all of your evidence and documentation, including any certificates or letters of commendation from your previous employer. It is also a good idea to compile a portfolio of your work – this can be anything from case studies and patient feedback forms to meeting minutes and photographs.    

The appraisal process should be a positive experience for both parties involved. By taking the time to find the right appraiser and preparing well for the meeting, you can ensure that it goes as smoothly as possible.

Tips on Getting a Good Doctors’ Appraisal

  • Get all your evidence together beforehand (e.g., case studies, patient feedback forms).
  • Make sure you know what’s expected of you in the meeting and have prepared for it well enough so nothing comes as a surprise on appraisal day!

 If possible, try to arrange an informal chat with someone from HR or management before going into the interview room where they’ll tell them about their experience working at that particular company/organisation.
