How to prepare for your appraisal as a locum doctor?

When you work as a locum doctor, you will need to arrange an annual appraisal to support your five-yearly revalidation with the General Medical Council (GMC) and to ensure you are following the standards laid out by good medical practice principles.

Your appraisal is a collaborative process, with a significant element of self-review, so during the year, it’s important to build up information that shows the scope and quality of your work. This will be key to demonstrating your fitness to practise for the GMC.

Underpinning every positive, successful appraisal is preparation, so in this article, we’ll guide you through the process.
