The NHS England Medical Appraisal Policy describes the framework for appraisal of licensed medical practitioners who have a prescribed connection to NHS England. While designated bodies other than NHS England may find this policy and its annexes useful as a reference when writing or reviewing their own appraisal policies and procedures, they should note that as written it applies only within NHS England. Parts of the policy and its annexes may therefore need to be adapted for other designated bodies.
