2023 Scottish Medical Appraisers Annual Conference

Following feedback from appraisers in previous conferences, a decision was made to run the 2023 Scottish Medical Appraisers Conference independently from the NES Annual Conference to allow those appraisers with educational roles to fully engage with the medical education sessions.

The Scottish Medical Appraisers Conference will take place on 13 September 2023.  It will be delivered remotely via MS Teams and recordings of sessions will be made available afterwards. 

Topics include unconscious bias, active bystander, cultural competency and neurodiversity. We have also invited the GMC to speak to us about the recent review into the Good Medical Practice.  Further sessions will cover practical aspects of appraisal, such as the writing up of Form 4s.  There will be a presentation from NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and NHS Lothian colleagues to discuss their journey and progress into electronic approaches to Patient Survey Questionnaires (PSQ). 

Registration will open in June/July and close at the beginning of September via the Medical Appraisal Scotland website:  https://www.appraisal.nes.scot.nhs.uk/events/2023-smac/
