As part of the wider UMbRELLA study, we are interested to know if appraisal, as a revalidation mechanism, can facilitate the identification and remedy of potential concerns about doctors before they become Fitness to Practise referrals.
In order to explore this, we would like to analyse the appraisal documentation of doctors who have been referred to the GMC's Fitness to Practise procedures by their employer and whose FTP case is now resolved.
If this applies to you, please see the Frequently Asked Questions about this aspect of our research and get in touch if you may be interested in participating. We would like to analyse your appraisal documentation from the five years preceding the FTP referral in order to undertake a Root Cause Analysis to explore whether the issues which raised concerns could have been identified earlier and remedied locally.
