media:description>Here are 15 common mythbusters about colleague feedback for a medical appraisal, tailored for doctors working in the United Kingdom:
1. Myth: Colleague feedback is solely about criticism and fault-finding.
Reality: Colleague feedback serves to provide a holistic view of a doctor’s performance, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement.
2. Myth: Feedback from colleagues is biased and unreliable.
Reality: While individual perceptions may vary, aggregating feedback from multiple colleagues increases its reliability and validity, providing a more comprehensive assessment.
3. Myth: Seeking feedback from colleagues is a sign of weakness.
Reality: Seeking feedback demonstrates a commitment to self-awareness, professional development, and continuous improvement, which are essential traits for competent healthcare professionals.
4. Myth: Only senior colleagues’ feedback holds value.
Reality: Feedback from colleagues at all levels, including peers and juniors, offers valuable perspectives on different aspects of a doctor’s practice and interactions within the team.
5. Myth: Providing feedback anonymously guarantees honesty and transparency.
Reality: While anonymity may encourage openness, transparent communication and trust within the team foster a supportive feedback culture where constructive criticism is valued.
6. Myth: Negative feedback from colleagues is personal and reflects animosity.
Reality: Constructive criticism from colleagues is intended to facilitate professional growth and development, rather than personal attack.
7. Myth: Colleague feedback should only focus on clinical competence.
Reality: Colleague feedback encompasses various aspects of professional practice, including communication skills, teamwork, leadership, and professionalism, which are integral to effective patient care.
8. Myth: Colleague feedback is only relevant for identifying weaknesses.
Reality: Colleague feedback also highlights strengths and areas of excellence, reinforcing positive behaviors and encouraging continued professional growth.
9. Myth: Feedback from colleagues should be disregarded if it contradicts self-assessment.
Reality: Discrepancies between self-assessment and colleague feedback provide opportunities for reflection, self-awareness, and identifying blind spots in one’s practice.
10. Myth: Feedback should be ignored if it comes from colleagues with whom one has conflicts.
Reality: Feedback from colleagues, even those with whom conflicts exist, may offer valuable insights into areas for improvement and opportunities for resolving interpersonal conflicts within the team.
By dispelling these common myths and embracing the reality of colleague feedback, doctors can cultivate a culture of mutual respect, collaboration, and continuous improvement within their professional practice in the United Kingdom.

media:description>Here are 15 common MythBusters about Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for medical professionals in the United Kingdom, along with detailed explanations:
1. *Myth:* CPD is only about attending conferences and workshops.
• *Fact:* While attending events is part of CPD, it also includes activities such as reflective practice, audits, online learning, teaching, and research.
2. *Myth:* CPD is a one-size-fits-all approach.
• *Fact:* CPD should be tailored to individual learning needs, goals, and specialty requirements to ensure relevance and effectiveness.
3. *Myth:* CPD is primarily for junior doctors.
• *Fact:* CPD is essential for all doctors at every stage of their career to maintain and enhance competence, keep up with advancements, and meet regulatory requirements.
4. *Myth:* CPD is time-consuming and burdensome.
• *Fact:* CPD can be integrated into daily practice through activities like journal clubs, case discussions, and online modules, making it manageable and beneficial.
5. *Myth:* Only formal activities count as CPD.
• *Fact:* Informal learning, such as mentoring, peer discussions, and self-directed study, are valuable components of CPD and contribute to professional development.
6. *Myth:* CPD is solely about acquiring new knowledge.
• *Fact:* CPD encompasses not only knowledge acquisition but also skills development, reflection on practice, and improvement of patient care outcomes.
7. *Myth:* CPD is disconnected from appraisal and revalidation.
• *Fact:* CPD is an integral part of the appraisal process, providing evidence of professional development and contributing to revalidation requirements set by regulatory bodies like the General Medical Council (GMC).
8. *Myth:* CPD is expensive.
• *Fact:* While some CPD activities may incur costs, many options, such as online resources, local seminars, and workplace-based learning, are affordable or even free.
9. *Myth:* CPD activities must be directly related to one’s specialty.
• *Fact:* While specialty-specific learning is important, CPD encourages a broad range of activities that can enhance general medical knowledge, skills, and professionalism.
10. *Myth:* CPD is an individual endeavor.

11. *Myth:* CPD is only necessary for clinical skills development.
• *Fact:* CPD encompasses a wide range of areas, including leadership, communication, ethics, and cultural competence, essential for delivering holistic patient care.
12. *Myth:* CPD is optional.
• *Fact:* CPD is a mandatory requirement for doctors in the UK, outlined by professional bodies and regulatory authorities to ensure ongoing competence and patient safety.
13. *Myth:* CPD activities must be formalized and structured.
• *Fact:* While structured CPD activities provide clear learning objectives, informal learning opportunities, such as peer discussions and reflective practice, are equally valuable and encouraged.
14. *Myth:* CPD is only for improving clinical practice.
• *Fact:* CPD encompasses professional development in various aspects, including teaching, research, management, and quality improvement, contributing to overall career advancement.
15. *Myth:* CPD ends after achieving a certain level of expertise.
• *Fact:* CPD is a lifelong commitment for doctors to stay updated, adaptable, and responsive to evolving healthcare needs, ensuring continuous improvement and excellence in practice.
By debunking these myths and understanding the true nature of CPD, doctors can engage more effectively in professional development activities to enhance their skills, knowledge, and patient care outcomes.

media:description>Understanding these medical appraisal and revalidation mythbusters helps doctors approach the collection and presentation of supporting information for a medical appraisal as a valuable opportunity for reflection, learning, and professional development, ultimately benefiting both individual practitioners and the quality of patient care.
1. **Myth:** Supporting information is just a checklist of documents to collect.
- **Fact:** While supporting information does involve collecting documents, its purpose goes beyond mere documentation. It provides evidence of a doctor's performance, reflection, and ongoing professional development, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
2. **Myth:** Only clinical documents are necessary for supporting information.
- **Fact:** Supporting information encompasses a wide range of documentation, including clinical audits, feedback from colleagues and patients, significant events analysis, reflective practice records, and evidence of participation in educational activities. Non-clinical documents such as leadership roles and quality improvement projects are also valuable.
3. **Myth:** Quantity of supporting information matters more than quality.
- **Fact:** While it's important to provide comprehensive supporting information, quality is paramount. Appraisers value depth of reflection, relevance to practice, and demonstration of learning and improvement over sheer volume of documents.
4. **Myth:** Supporting information is only necessary for appraisal purposes.
- **Fact:** While supporting information is required for appraisal, its benefits extend beyond the appraisal process. It serves as a valuable resource for personal reflection, professional development planning, and demonstrating ongoing competence and fitness to practice.
5. **Myth:** Only positive feedback and outcomes should be included in supporting information.
- **Fact:** While positive feedback is valuable, supporting information should also include instances of challenges, mistakes, and areas for improvement. Reflecting on such experiences demonstrates honesty, self-awareness, and a commitment to learning and growth.
6. **Myth:** Supporting information is a one-time collection of documents.
- **Fact:** Supporting information is an ongoing process that occurs throughout the appraisal cycle. Doctors should continuously collect, update, and reflect on their supporting information to ensure it remains relevant, current, and reflective of their practice.
7. **Myth:** Supporting information is only for demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements.
- **Fact:** While supporting information fulfills regulatory obligations, its primary purpose is to facilitate reflection, self-assessment, and professional development. It enables doctors to identify learning needs, set goals, and track progress over time.
8. **Myth:** Only formal training courses count as supporting information.
- **Fact:** While formal training courses are valuable, supporting information encompasses a broader range of learning activities, including self-directed learning, peer learning, clinical supervision, and experiential learning through patient encounters and quality improvement projects.
9. **Myth:** Supporting information is irrelevant for experienced doctors.
- **Fact:** Supporting information is essential for doctors at all career stages. It provides opportunities for experienced doctors to reflect on their practice, receive feedback, and demonstrate ongoing competence and development.
10. **Myth:** Supporting information is a solo endeavor.
- **Fact:** While doctors are responsible for collecting their supporting information, it often involves collaboration with colleagues, patients, and other healthcare professionals. Feedback and input from others enrich the quality and depth of the supporting information.

media:description>15 common mythbusters about revalidation for doctors working in the United Kingdom:
Here are 15 common mythbusters about revalidation for doctors working in the United Kingdom, along with detailed explanations:
1. **Myth:** Revalidation is just a bureaucratic process with no real value.
- **Fact:** Revalidation is a structured process designed to ensure that doctors remain competent, up-to-date, and fit to practice medicine. It helps maintain high standards of patient care and public trust in the medical profession.
2. **Myth:** Revalidation is solely about paperwork and ticking boxes.
- **Fact:** While documentation is a part of revalidation, its core focus is on continuous professional development, reflection, and improvement. It encourages doctors to assess their practice critically and identify areas for growth.
3. **Myth:** Revalidation is only for identifying poor performance.
- **Fact:** Revalidation is not just about identifying weaknesses; it's about celebrating achievements, recognizing strengths, and supporting ongoing professional development. It aims to enhance overall practice quality, not just remediate deficiencies.
4. **Myth:** Revalidation is irrelevant for experienced doctors.
- **Fact:** Revalidation applies to all doctors, regardless of experience level. It ensures that even experienced practitioners continue to engage in lifelong learning, reflect on their practice, and uphold professional standards.
5. **Myth:** Revalidation is solely focused on clinical skills.
- **Fact:** While clinical competence is a crucial aspect, revalidation also evaluates non-clinical skills such as communication, professionalism, and teamwork. It assesses the doctor's overall ability to provide safe and effective patient care.
6. **Myth:** Revalidation is a one-time event.
- **Fact:** Revalidation is an ongoing process that occurs every five years for most doctors. It involves regular reflection, evidence collection, appraisal, and feedback to ensure continuous professional development and fitness to practice.
7. **Myth:** Revalidation is solely the responsibility of the individual doctor.
- **Fact:** While doctors play a central role in revalidation, it's a collaborative process involving input from appraisers, colleagues, and other healthcare professionals. It fosters a culture of accountability and shared responsibility for maintaining professional standards.
8. **Myth:** Revalidation is burdensome and time-consuming.
- **Fact:** While revalidation requires some time and effort, it serves as a framework for structured professional development. It encourages doctors to prioritize reflection, self-assessment, and ongoing learning to enhance their practice.
9. **Myth:** Revalidation is a punitive process.
- **Fact:** Revalidation aims to support doctors in maintaining high standards of practice, not punish them. It provides opportunities for feedback, support, and improvement rather than focusing solely on identifying and penalizing poor performance.
10. **Myth:** Revalidation has little impact on patient care.
- **Fact:** Revalidation contributes to improved patient care by ensuring that doctors remain competent, up-to-date, and responsive to changes in healthcare practice. It promotes a culture of continuous quality improvement and patient safety within the medical profession.
Understanding these mythbusters helps doctors approach revalidation as a valuable opportunity for continuous improvement, professional development, and ensuring ongoing fitness to practice, ultimately benefiting both individual practitioners and the healthcare system as a whole.

1:: Colleague feedback mythbusters
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 21.04.2024 · 05:00:12 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Here are 15 common mythbusters about colleague feedback for a medical appraisal, tailored for doctors working in the United Kingdom:
1. Myth: Colleague feedback is solely about criticism and fault-finding.
Reality: Colleague feedback serves to provide a holistic view of a doctor’s performance, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement.
2. Myth: Feedback from colleagues is biased and unreliable.
Reality: While individual perceptions may vary, aggregating feedback from multiple colleagues increases its reliability and validity, providing a more comprehensive assessment.
3. Myth: Seeking feedback from colleagues is a sign of weakness.
Reality: Seeking feedback demonstrates a commitment to self-awareness, professional development, and continuous improvement, which are essential traits for competent healthcare professionals.
4. Myth: Only senior colleagues’ feedback holds value.
Reality: Feedback from colleagues at all levels, including peers and juniors, offers valuable perspectives on different aspects of a doctor’s practice and interactions within the team.
5. Myth: Providing feedback anonymously guarantees honesty and transparency.
Reality: While anonymity may encourage openness, transparent communication and trust within the team foster a supportive feedback culture where constructive criticism is valued.
6. Myth: Negative feedback from colleagues is personal and reflects animosity.
Reality: Constructive criticism from colleagues is intended to facilitate professional growth and development, rather than personal attack.
7. Myth: Colleague feedback should only focus on clinical competence.
Reality: Colleague feedback encompasses various aspects of professional practice, including communication skills, teamwork, leadership, and professionalism, which are integral to effective patient care.
8. Myth: Colleague feedback is only relevant for identifying weaknesses.
Reality: Colleague feedback also highlights strengths and areas of excellence, reinforcing positive behaviors and encouraging continued professional growth.
9. Myth: Feedback from colleagues should be disregarded if it contradicts self-assessment.
Reality: Discrepancies between self-assessment and colleague feedback provide opportunities for reflection, self-awareness, and identifying blind spots in one’s practice.
10. Myth: Feedback should be ignored if it comes from colleagues with whom one has conflicts.
Reality: Feedback from colleagues, even those with whom conflicts exist, may offer valuable insights into areas for improvement and opportunities for resolving interpersonal conflicts within the team.
By dispelling these common myths and embracing the reality of colleague feedback, doctors can cultivate a culture of mutual respect, collaboration, and continuous improvement within their professional practice in the United Kingdom.

9:: Mythbusters As Regards The Supporting Information For A Medical Appraisal
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 31.03.2024 · 06:00:07 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Understanding these medical appraisal and revalidation mythbusters helps doctors approach the collection and presentation of supporting information for a medical appraisal as a valuable opportunity for reflection, learning, and professional development, ultimately benefiting both individual practitioners and the quality of patient care.
1. **Myth:** Supporting information is just a checklist of documents to collect.

2. **Myth:** Only clinical documents are necessary for supporting information.
- **Fact:** Supporting information encompasses a wide range of documentation, including clinical audits, feedback from colleagues and patients, significant events analysis, reflective practice records, and evidence of participation in educational activities. Non-clinical documents such as leadership roles and quality improvement projects are also valuable.
3. **Myth:** Quantity of supporting information matters more than quality.
- **Fact:** While it's important to provide comprehensive supporting information, quality is paramount. Appraisers value depth of reflection, relevance to practice, and demonstration of learning and improvement over sheer volume of documents.

- **Fact:** While supporting information is required for appraisal, its benefits extend beyond the appraisal process. It serves as a valuable resource for personal reflection, professional development planning, and demonstrating ongoing competence and fitness to practice.
5. **Myth:** Only positive feedback and outcomes should be included in supporting information.
- **Fact:** While positive feedback is valuable, supporting information should also include instances of challenges, mistakes, and areas for improvement. Reflecting on such experiences demonstrates honesty, self-awareness, and a commitment to learning and growth.
6. **Myth:** Supporting information is a one-time collection of documents.
- **Fact:** Supporting information is an ongoing process that occurs throughout the appraisal cycle. Doctors should continuously collect, update, and reflect on their supporting information to ensure it remains relevant, current, and reflective of their practice.
7. **Myth:** Supporting information is only for demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements.
- **Fact:** While supporting information fulfills regulatory obligations, its primary purpose is to facilitate reflection, self-assessment, and professional development. It enables doctors to identify learning needs, set goals, and track progress over time.
8. **Myth:** Only formal training courses count as supporting information.
- **Fact:** While formal training courses are valuable, supporting information encompasses a broader range of learning activities, including self-directed learning, peer learning, clinical supervision, and experiential learning through patient encounters and quality improvement projects.
9. **Myth:** Supporting information is irrelevant for experienced doctors.
- **Fact:** Supporting information is essential for doctors at all career stages. It provides opportunities for experienced doctors to reflect on their practice, receive feedback, and demonstrate ongoing competence and development.
10. **Myth:** Supporting information is a solo endeavor.
- **Fact:** While doctors are responsible for collecting their supporting information, it often involves collaboration with colleagues, patients, and other healthcare professionals. Feedback and input from others enrich the quality and depth of the supporting information.

- **Fact:** Revalidation is not just about identifying weaknesses; it's about celebrating achievements, recognizing strengths, and supporting ongoing professional development. It aims to enhance overall practice quality, not just remediate deficiencies.
4. **Myth:** Revalidation is irrelevant for experienced doctors.
- **Fact:** Revalidation applies to all doctors, regardless of experience level. It ensures that even experienced practitioners continue to engage in lifelong learning, reflect on their practice, and uphold professional standards.

16:: Appraisals for doctors from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Myanmar
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 25.06.2023 · 21:58:39 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· In today's video, we will look at a common query amongst doctors about the annual return process of the GMC. The General Medical Council (GMC) requires all UK-registered doctors to complete an annual return. If you do not have a designated body, you must complete the annual return online which is accessible through GMC Online. You should receive an email each year reminding you to complete your annual return. When completing the annual return, you must provide your personal and professional details including your current employment status, any significant health issues, and if there have been any changes to your employment since your last annual return. This includes disclosing any physical or mental health issues that may affect their ability to practice medicine safely and effectively. You will also need to confirm that you have complied with the GMC’s requirements for continuing professional development by having your annual appraisal and submitting the REV12. Additionally, doctors must declare any criminal convictions or ongoing investigations against them. These declarations are vital for the GMC to assess a doctor's fitness to practice and to ensure patient safety.
The deadline for completing your annual return is usually in March or April each year. However, this may defer as per individual cases. If you fail to complete your annual return by the deadline, the GMC may remove your name from the medical register. You will then have to apply for restoration which can be a lengthy process. To avoid any penalties or removal from the register, ensure you complete your annual return by the deadline. Some common questions regarding the GMC annual return process for doctors that do not have a designated body include: How do I complete the annual return? Is there a fee to complete the annual return? When will I receive a reminder email to complete the annual return? The answers to these questions and more can be found on the GMC’s website or you can contact the GMC for assistance.
Overall, the annual return process of the GMC for doctors focuses on maintaining accurate records and monitoring the health, professional conduct, and qualifications of doctors. By adhering to these requirements, the GMC aims to uphold high standards of medical practice and safeguard the well-being of patients. Thank you for watching this video.

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 07.06.2023 · 17:59:54 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· No, a medical appraisal for UK doctors is not a pass-or-fail event. It is a structured and supportive process designed to assess a doctor's performance, identify areas for improvement, and support their professional development.
During a medical appraisal, doctors meet with an appraiser who is usually a trained and experienced fellow healthcare professional. The appraiser reviews the doctor's portfolio, which includes documentation of their clinical practice, continuing professional development activities, feedback from patients and colleagues, and reflections on their practice.
The purpose of the appraisal is to provide feedback and support to the doctor, helping them identify strengths, address any concerns, and set goals for improvement. It aims to ensure that doctors maintain high professional standards, engage in lifelong learning, and provide quality care to patients.
The appraisal process focuses on reflection, self-assessment, and learning rather than passing or failing. It serves as an opportunity for doctors to discuss their practice, seek guidance, and receive constructive feedback to enhance their professional skills and knowledge.

18:: Importance of medical appraisals for doctors
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 25.05.2023 · 17:10:15 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Medical appraisals play a vital role in ensuring the professional development, competence, and overall quality of healthcare practitioners, including doctors, in the United Kingdom. These regular assessments provide a structured and reflective process that allows doctors to evaluate their own practice, identify areas for improvement, and ensure the delivery of safe and effective patient care.
Firstly, medical appraisals contribute to maintaining and enhancing doctors' professional standards. Through the appraisal process, doctors are encouraged to reflect on their clinical knowledge, skills, and performance. They can identify any gaps in their knowledge or areas where they may need further training or development. This self-assessment helps doctors to stay up to date with advancements in their field and ensures that they meet the standards set by their regulatory bodies, such as the General Medical Council (GMC) in the UK.
Secondly, appraisals promote a culture of continuous learning and improvement within the medical profession. By engaging in regular appraisals, doctors are encouraged to reflect on their clinical practice, seek feedback from colleagues and patients, and identify opportunities for growth. This process fosters a commitment to lifelong learning, encouraging doctors to stay abreast of the latest research, guidelines, and best practices. Ultimately, it ensures that doctors are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to provide high-quality care to their patients.
Furthermore, medical appraisals serve as a means of identifying and addressing any issues related to doctors' performance or conduct. Through the appraisal process, any concerns or areas of underperformance can be identified and appropriate actions can be taken. This may involve additional training, mentoring, or support to help doctors overcome any challenges they may be facing. By addressing these issues proactively, medical appraisals contribute to maintaining public trust in the medical profession and upholding patient safety.
In summary, medical appraisals are of utmost importance for doctors in the UK. They provide a structured process for doctors to evaluate their own practice, maintain professional standards, and ensure continuous learning and improvement. By actively engaging in appraisals, doctors can enhance their knowledge and skills, address any areas of concern, and ultimately provide safer and better care for their patients.

19:: Do I need certificates as proof of evidence for all my cpd for a medical appraisal?
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 07.05.2023 · 19:54:32 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Content from Mythbusters@RCGP
Certificates of attendance may prove attendance at an event, but they are not proof of learning or development. They say nothing about what has been learned, or any changes you have made as a result.
A reflective note, no matter how brief, is far more valuable evidence of reflective practice and continuing professional development than a certificate. A lot of valuable learning takes place in ways that do not
generate a certificate, such as personal reading and professional conversations with colleagues. We encourage you to think about how and what you have learnt, defining one CPD credit as one hour of learning activity as demonstrated by a reflective note on the lessons learned and any changes made as a result.
You should not waste time scanning certificates of attendance into your portfolio of supporting information, unless keeping formal proof of attendance on courses that are organisational requirements may be useful
to you, such as Basic Life Support and Safeguarding. Appraisers should not be asking to see certificates of attendance; they should be asking what your most important new learning has been over the past year and what difference it has made to your practice.
Many CPD facilitators now provide certificates that include a structured format or template for you to write appropriate reflective notes about learning and planned changes that will have an impact on your practice.
It is reasonable to scan these rather than rewriting the reflective note elsewhere. You can also choose not to complete the certificate at all if the reflective note is captured elsewhere in a learning log or electronic
toolkit. Your aim should be to avoid duplication of effort.

20:: Can I ask my Responsible Officer to defer my revalidation?
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 21.04.2023 · 06:45:00 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Can I ask my Responsible Officer to defer my revalidation?
Content: Mythbusters - RCGP
Only your responsible officer (RO) can decide if your revalidation date should be deferred. It is possible that the RO will decide to tell the GMC you are failing to engage with revalidation, if you have not engaged enough with the appraisal process, or taken appropriate opportunities to ensure that you are ready for revalidation.
Deferral is a neutral act and is normally used in circumstances where more time is needed to demonstrate your continued competence. Your existing licence to practise will continue. This will allow you additional time to meet the GMC requirements for supporting information in full, or for a local process to be completed.
If you feel that your revalidation date should be deferred, for any reason, you should discuss your options and the reasons why with your appraiser and RO at the earliest opportunity. This will help to demonstrate that you are engaged with the process.

Appraisal is not a pass or fail assessment. Appraisal is part of a formative and developmental process. It provides an annual chance to reflect with the help of a trained appraiser, in protected time.
Appraisal should always include support, encouragement and stimulation.

22:: What makes reflection so difficult for doctors?
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 12.03.2023 · 10:40:41 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Content: Mythbusters@RCGP
Reflection is a professional habit that all doctors should have. No-one would want to be treated by doctors who never considered how effective their care was or whether it could be any better.
Reflection should be something you do all the time. It is part of your professional training. Like any habit, reflection can be such a subconscious activity that it can be hard to be sufficiently aware of it so you can
capture it and write it down.
You might find that your appraiser helps your reflection through active listening, careful questioning and feedback. The appraisal discussion is an important trigger to generate new reflective insights which can be captured in your appraisal summary. You do not have to record all your reflections as this would be disproportionate. It is important to find a method of capturing reflection that works for you and to keep it simple and proportionate. Some people are more natural reflectors than others. You might find it helpful to
understand your own preferred learning style. Your appraiser will have training and knowledge to help you, so you should discuss any concerns with them.

23:: Do only courses count as CPD for a medical appraisal?
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 18.02.2023 · 17:40:34 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Content from: Mythbusters@RCGP
Continuing professional development (CPD) activities should be very broadly defined and include personal, opportunistic and experiential learning as well as activities targeted at identifying ‘unknown unknowns’. Any learning activity where you spend time learning something and deciding how it can be put into practice in your current, or proposed, work can be counted as CPD. You should only expend time and energy in documenting a sample of your most relevant and important learning.
The aim is to demonstrate a balance of learning across the curriculum relevant to your scope of practice over the five-year revalidation cycle. You should choose to demonstrate reflection on your most valuable learning events across a variety of learning. This is not just courses and conferences and may include:
l learning from cases, data and events
l personal reading and online research
l online modules
l professional conversations about clinical care
l everyday learning from your work and the experiences of others.
As there is so much learning in primary care that takes place in teams, you should demonstrate where this has led to important changes and developments. It is also important, where possible, to demonstrate
some learning with others outside the usual workplace to allow for external calibration of ideas and processes. For any learning activity, you need to reflect on what you have learned and any changes you have made (or not) as a result.

24:: Are certificates of attendance at CPD events important for a medical appraisal?
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 22.01.2023 · 10:12:24 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Content: Mythbusters@RCGP
Certificates of attendance may prove attendance at an event, but they are not proof of learning or development. They say nothing about what has been learned, or any changes you have made as a result.
A reflective note, no matter how brief, is far more valuable evidence of reflective practice and continuing professional development than a certificate. A lot of valuable learning takes place in ways that do not
generate a certificate, such as personal reading and professional conversations with colleagues. We encourage you to think about how and what you have learnt, defining one CPD credit as one hour of learning activity as demonstrated by a reflective note on the lessons learned and any changes made as a result.
You should not waste time scanning certificates of attendance into your portfolio of supporting information, unless keeping formal proof of attendance on courses that are organisational requirements may be useful
to you, such as Basic Life Support and Safeguarding. Appraisers should not be asking to see certificates of attendance; they should be asking what your most important new learning has been over the past year and what difference it has made to your practice.
Many CPD facilitators now provide certificates that include a structured format or template for you to write appropriate reflective notes about learning and planned changes that will have an impact on your practice.
It is reasonable to scan these rather than rewriting the reflective note elsewhere. You can also choose not to complete the certificate at all if the reflective note is captured elsewhere in a learning log or electronic
toolkit. Your aim should be to avoid duplication of effort.

25:: Whose responsibility is to ensure that I have my annual appraisal in time?

GMC statutory guidance states that, to maintain your licence to practise, you must ensure that you have an annual medical appraisal and demonstrate your continued competence across your whole scope
of practice. Your responsible officer (RO) has a duty to ensure that there is a suitable, quality assured, appraisal process for you to participate in. The GMC requires you to engage with your annual appraisal process on an ongoing basis. Some doctors do not have an RO, or a Suitable Person, and still organise their own annual appraisal that meets the GMC criteria for a medical appraisal for revalidation.
If you work in a designated body with an organisational appraisal policy, it is your responsibility to understand what that means for you and how you should be accessing your annual appraisal. Your RO has a statutory responsibility for ensuring that the appraisal process is fit for purpose but you must play your part in engaging fully with the process.
We recommend that you are proactive in ensuring that you have an annual appraisal that is meaningful and meets your personal and professional development needs in the context in which you work. If your appraisal becomes disproportionately burdensome, we recommend that you speak to your appraiser and RO. They can support you and make recommendations.
If you think that you should be offered an appraisal and you are not, we recommend that you are proactive about seeking advice from your designated body and ensuring that you are included in the appraisal
process. Administrative errors do happen and you are best placed to highlight such omissions.

26:: Key messages in appraisal and revalidation for doctors in 2022
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 18.12.2022 · 15:24:08 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Your role in revalidation is to demonstrate that you are up-to-date and fit to practise. Your role in appraisal is to engage in a process that supports you as a GP, helping you to demonstrate your reflective practice and your continuing professional development, as well as facilitating quality
improvements across your whole scope of practice.
The way that you choose to record and demonstrate your supporting information should remain reasonable and proportionate, without detracting unduly from your patient care, or the leisure time that
is necessary for remaining fit to practise. The GMC provides the definitive guidance about the requirements for revalidation. If you meet the
GMC requirements that will be sufficient for successful revalidation.
Reflection is a process of looking back over knowledge, experiences or events and critically analysing what has been learned, and then planning for any changes that need to be made as a result. As a professional, you will reflect on your practice all the time, both consciously and unconsciously, but not all reflection can be (or needs to be) documented.
You should be selective in what you document in your portfolio of supporting information, choosing to include what is of particular importance to you and focusing on quality not quantity of supporting
information. If you are not sure how to record your supporting information, or you are finding it too burdensome, talk to your appraiser. Appraisers are trained to help you to put together your portfolio in an efficient way.
Well trained and supported appraisers can be a valuable resource. They have expertise in understanding the requirements for revalidation and in facilitating your reflection and professional development, by creating the protected time and space during appraisal to provide support, encouragement and stimulation. If you are working in an unusual context, and you are not sure what is appropriate for your circumstances, talk to your appraiser or responsible officer, as they have networks of peer support and
the experience to help you to determine what would be appropriate in your case.

27:: How many cpd points do I need for my appraisal?
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 19.11.2022 · 10:42:32 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Content: Mythbusters@RCGP
The GMC requires you to do enough CPD to keep up-to-date across the whole of your scope of practice. This may require more, or less, than 50 credits depending on the scope of practice and your qualifications
and experience in each area of work.
You should determine what is enough CPD for you to be up-to-date and fit to practise across all of your work. You should discuss this with your appraiser and, when necessary, get explicit agreement from your responsible officer that what you are doing is appropriate for your circumstances.
As an exception, if you have a complicated portfolio career and several roles to include, you may feel you need to demonstrate more than 50 credits to demonstrate reflection on appropriate CPD to keep up-to-date for each part of your work. You should keep the detailed documentation proportionate and
reasonable. Most doctors find it easier to keep a learning log that builds up as they go through the year and this could amount to over 50 credits by the end of the year. If the documentation of the reflection has not been allowed to become disproportionate, you should be the one to decide what works for you.
The appraisal discussion should focus on the credits that reflect on the most valuable and representative learning. We recommend that you should reflect on the balance of your CPD and discuss it with your appraiser.
Some elements of CPD are applicable across several roles and, where possible, you should avoid duplication.

28:: Supporting information for a medical appraisal
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 06.11.2022 · 18:12:19 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· The GMC requires doctors to provide appropriate supporting information across the whole of their scope of practice that requires a licence to practise, not just clinical roles.
You must declare all parts of your scope of practice and, for each of them where appropriate, provide all
six types of supporting information over the revalidation cycle:
l CPD
l QIA
l significant events, if there are any
l patient feedback
l colleague feedback
l complaints and compliments, if there are any
We recommend that you keep the documentation of your supporting information reasonable and proportionate while ensuring that you have demonstrated that you are up-to-date and fit to practise in every scope of practice. Your appraiser will help you determine whether there are any gaps in your portfolio of supporting information and support you in working out how best to fill those gaps. Your responsible officer (RO) will tell you if your portfolio demonstrates sufficient engagement in reflective practice and provides the supporting information required by the GMC.
If you have any queries that your appraiser cannot resolve, we recommend that you seek early confirmation from your RO that what you are planning is going to be acceptable.

29:: How many appraisals do I need before I can have a recommendation to revalidate?
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 23.10.2022 · 17:00:44 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Content: Mythbusters@RCGP
You are expected to engage fully in the annual appraisal process to revalidate successfully. However, there is no requirement to have five annual appraisals before a revalidation recommendation can be made. There are many reasons for having approved missed appraisals, such as maternity leave or sick leave. You could be given a revalidation due date that is less than five years from your first appraisal. It is important that any missed appraisals in the revalidation cycle are agreed by your responsible officer (RO) as being necessary and appropriate.
Before the RO can make a positive recommendation to revalidate, you must have collected all the GMC supporting information required to provide assurance that you are up-to-date and fit to practise and
reflected on it at your appraisal. This normally requires at least two appraisals.
If you are struggling to collect all the supporting information before your revalidation recommendation due date, your RO can recommend a deferral. This is a neutral act. The GMC will continue your existing licence to practise, and set a new revalidation recommendation date. You will be able to work while you collect the remaining supporting information that you need. Your RO can recommend a deferral period of between four months and one year depending on how long you will need to collect and reflect on the
remaining supporting information.

30:: Personal development plan (PDP) for an appraisal
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 16.10.2022 · 14:43:44 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Content from: mythbusters@RCGP
There is nothing that the GMC requires your personal development plan (PDP) to include.
Your goals should be taken from your appraisal as an individual and your specific needs. The GMC requires you to make progress with your PDP each year or explain why that has not been possible. They require you to reach agreement with your appraiser on a PDP for the coming year based on your appraisal portfolio and discussion. Your PDP should be:
l personal
l developmental
l a plan for the future.
It should meet your needs in the context within which you work. We recommend that you develop SMART (Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Relevant and Timely) goals with your appraiser.
Performance objectives should be part of job planning and not necessarily part of your appraisal and revalidation PDP unless you wish to include them. It often helps to work out how you can demonstrate that a change you plan as one of your PDP goals has made a difference by considering what the impact on patients will be.
