Your appraisal
If you have an NHS appraisal, your appraiser is trained to appraise all your practice, not just your NHS GP role. You should ensure your appraisal portfolio includes details of all the roles you have which require a licence to practise.
Your appraiser might ask for evidence that you have adequate supervision or an annual review in other roles, and you'll need to include contact details for all employers in your appraisal portfolio to ensure your RO can contact them if needed.
You may find it valuable to complete our GPwER annual review template which provides a proposed structure for reviewing your other roles each year.
With appropriate inputs, the annual whole scope of practice medical appraisal process, rather than periodic re-accreditation, is the established route for you to demonstrate continued competence in all your extended roles.
Sharing appraisal documentation
NHS GPs who work for other organisations may be asked to share appraisal outputs with employers, whether as part of a pre-employment process or within routine governance arrangements. This is a valid and common part of the appraisal process.
However, your appraisal documentation is confidential between you, your appraiser, your RO and delegated members of your RO's team. This is important for the integrity of the appraisal process, allowing you to reflect openly and confidentially.
You are, of course, able to share whatever personal information you choose to another employer, but you shouldn't have to. It should be sufficient to share your appraisal outputs and not your full portfolio.
Organisations asking for appraisal information
Organisations should consider whether asking for more may be classed as forced consent under GDPR. If information beyond the appraisal outputs is asked for, clear justification should be presented to allow the GP to make an informed decision on whether to provide it.
Organisations employing NHS GPs should be reassured that, if information of note about the doctor's practice is known to their RO, NHS information flows guidance allows for this to be passed to other places where the doctor works. This can take place outside of the appraisal process. Organisations should therefore be encouraged to make contact with a doctor's RO when first employing them, to allow for this information to be shared.
