Sigh. It's that time of year again, and, of course, I've left everything to the last minute. Now I have to have all my appraisal items and paperwork complete by (gulp) the 24th of this month. Eighteen days. On top of planning presents for the children's birthdays/Christmas, homeschooling DS, and all the other stuff I have to do.
So, of course, it's time to start a thread here.
Currently working through the appraisal form; I have to complete sections 3 to 17 inclusive. Just finished section 6. Will aim to get through that so that I can make a list of all the things I need to do.
Other things I know I need to do:
Finish shingles protocol for care home that I meant to do months ago
Get something like six more CPD units done (gulp)
And that's just the stuff I can remember. I'll think of something else as soon as I've posted this. Oh, well, back to the grindstone...

Hi Dr Sarah,
I have been away from this forum and thought everyone has gone
Good Luck with all your stuff to do

Thanks, Medusahair! OK, progress. - Have done nearly all the work for the shingles protocol; just waiting on the answer to one query I've sent to the microbiologist and then will be ready to finish it and e-mail it to the care home.
- Got up to section 16 of the appraisal form. Obviously, some big holes in it where I need to go back and add stuff when I've finished it, but the point is that now I can get together a comprehensive list of what I need to do and know that nothing's lurking round the corner.
The biggest hole at the moment is my CPD units. I've done 42.5 out of a needed 50 and will count the shingles protocol as two more. That leaves me with 5.5 to get over the next couple of weeks. Luckily I have some flexibility in this as I have a week's leeway on when all the paperwork needs to be sent to my appraiser, and then could probably get away with doing the last bit in the week before the appraisal as long as it got done, but would be good to get as much as possible done by the time limit. |

Thanks, medusahair! Have now: - Completed section 16 on the form. Section 17 turned out to be just ticking to say I'd completed everything, so I'll do that when I have completed everything; I have parts I need to go back and do but I now have the full list of these.
- Done one more CPD credit. 4.5 to go...

Another 1.5 credits done, so that's 3 left. Might actually get this thing done on time! Or might not, since the paperwork is supposed to go off this Friday and I've got a lot of other stuff to do before then.
Need to e-mail the shingles protocol, then I'll work on the form for a bit (going back and filling in the bits I had to miss out due to not having done them).

Well, holy cow... I've finished the form. The only bits I still need to do are the section on CPD (because I haven't done all the CPD credits yet) and the final section (where I tick to confirm that I've filled everything in, which of course I can't do until I've done the CPD section). Phew! One big weight lifted. So I now need to: - Do three more CPD credits
- Complete the form by Friday with however many I have at the time (the rest will have to be done within the next week) and e-mail it
- If I haven't done all my credits by the time I send the form, send details of them in the next week
Nice going!

Hooray! 50 credits finished! (It did help that I found an almost-finished post that I'd forgotten to post or count, so that was half a credit already done.)
Now just got to get it all together and post... coming down the home stretch here...
