This was held on two dates and locations:

• 23 February 2016 – Metropole Hotel, Leeds
• 1 March 2016 – Human Rights Action Centre, London

Thank you for attending the first All England Appraisal Network Lead Appraisers Conference organised by the National Appraisal Network of NHS England. The conference was delivered twice in Leeds and London to maximise access, with a common agenda that utilised local resources as facilitators. Your support made it one of the ‘hottest’ tickets, reflected by both events being significantly over-subscribed. It provided the opportunity to capitalise on the Regional and Designated Body Medical Appraisal Network discussions and to take stock as we approach the end of the third year of the first cycle of medical revalidation and explore the impact of medical appraisal and the further opportunities as the programme evolves.

Here is a set of available material from the two events:
