The aim of this 1-day course is to develop the essential techniques, skills, knowledge and attendant confidence required for doctors to conduct an effective appraisal interview. Dealing with appraisals is a skill in itself, which many medics may not have had a chance to develop before they are asked to perform one.
Our course will help tackle the problem and organise a strategy which delegates can immediately action in their working lives. Anyone who has responsibility for reviewing the performance and development of their staff will benefit from this day. The course aims to:
