Supporting Information

Supporting information for the appraisal each year. All twelve attributes are to be covered in a five year appraisal cycle for revalidation. The choice may arise from the previous year’s Personal Development Plan (PDP) which will have areas of development agreed and which will link to at least one of the attributes. Some information will be presented each year; other information may only be required once in a five year cycle.

The framework of supporting information for Psychiatrists can be summarised as follows:
