GP Appraisal and CPD
The Unit is committed to retaining and building on the developmental aspect of appraisal. As the Unit also manages delivery of CPD for GPs in Wales, the two processes are closely linked:
• GPs are encouraged to reflect on their CPD as part of their annual appraisal
• The appraisal process helps GPs to plan their development for the coming year
• The learning objectives declared at appraisal are analysed and used to inform ongoing delivery of CPD across Wales
• The Medical Appraisal and Revalidation System includes a wide range of CPD resources including information about CPD events available across Wales
