This unique, practical online training enables newly trained Appraisers to build confidence and knowledge, by putting their newly acquired skills and understanding into practice in a real Appraisal situation with the support of an experienced MEDSU Appraiser Mentor.

The MEDSU Appraiser Training Mentor Programme has been developed to cover three key components to enable you to build confidence in your ability and understanding of the process and develop and implement your newly acquired skills.

Appraisal Observation & debrief

The trainee participates in a real appraisal meeting as an observer. They gain exposure to the entire appraisal process from beginning to end and engage in a reflective debrief afterwards with their mentor trainer.

Supervised Appraisal

The trainee conducts an appraisal with the roles reversed with their mentor who observes. A reflective debrief is conducted afterwards. The trainee gains experience completing all the documentation for Appraisal.

Documentation Quality Assurance

The documentation completed by the trainee is quality assured by MEDSU against the NHSE approved standardised audit tool, the ASPAT, with complete feedback to the trainee to enhance their further development.
