My appraisal is coming up, and it's the last one before revalidation, so I really need to have all my ducks in a row for this. If I don't have enough supporting information to show, it could potentially mean my revalidation having to be postponed; not the end of the world, but would be annoying, not to mention embarrassing. On top of that, my appraiser has booked it for a month earlier than I'd planned for in order to be sure all the paperwork gets through in time for my revalidation date, which has meant I've had to be pretty busy getting stuff done. The appraisal is booked for the 17th of this month and I need to have all my stuff ready on the site by one week before, so that gives me three and a bit more days as of right now. Got quite a bit done over the past few weeks, but quite a bit still to do, so, with the deadline looming, I thought I'd start a thread on here so I feel like I've got some company in my achievements.  Had a productive day so far (CPR certificate uploaded to site, some key stuff written up, a half-credit module finished). Here's what I still have to do between now and Tuesday: - Finish one other module that I got partway through and didn't complete, which will get me to the point of having enough credits for the year
- Export reports on CPD from both the sites I use, and upload to appraisal site
- Update my own summary of my CPD, and upload to site.
- Upload latest PSQ
- Write comments on PSQ
- Upload write-up of complaint
- See whether it’s possible to run audit on barrier creams and money saved. If so, add to write-up I’ve already done. (Optional if push comes to shove.)
- Complete and upload write-up of barrier creams switch.
- Make copy of care home spreadsheet and remove all patient-identifying information, upload
- Write up explanation of care home spreadsheet
- Update ‘Insights and Reflections’ form
Which should hopefully be it. I might think of something else, but I think those are the key points.
I need a break from doing the educational side of things, so I'm going to work on the PSQ (Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire) next and see if I can get that done today. If I get that done I'll work on uploading the complaint, which would then mean I've got Domain 4 finished.

Hooray! Done both those things, so that's Domain 4 completed. Also put something on Domain 3 earlier today which should be enough, so that's done too.
Have some things already on Domain 2 so will work on Domain 1 next, then do the other stuff for Domain 2 after that's done. Domain 1 - knowledge, skills and performance. (My favourite.) So, need to finish off that module so that I can get the reports ready and write the summary.
(BTW - yes, I know I'm talking totally in jargon. Sorry about that. It all means something to me, so this is basically the equivalent of me rambling out loud to myself!)

Hooray! Finished that module - that's all my educational credits done for the year (which is not bad considering I actually only had eleven months! Dinner time in a few minutes so have to leave it for now, but should get Domain 1 finished off tomorrow with no difficulty, as not too much to do now on that one. Well, that's been a good day's work!

Storming along here...
Got the reports on my educational modules exported and uploaded last night, and the report on my structured reading written this morning. (Both fairly quick straightforward jobs, so nothing too major there, but absolutely key to have done.) That is... Domain 1 sorted out! Yippeeee!!!
That leaves Domain 2 to complete (I have some stuff on there, but have more I need to put up), my Insights and Reflections page to edit, and a point I realised I need to look up regarding something I wrote just to check I haven't got my facts embarrassingly wrong. My next project for the day is going to be working on the stuff I need to do regarding the care home spreadsheet.

Thank you, Elizabeth! Have finished the bit relating to the care home spreadsheet, and also checked the point I needed to check (yes, I was right  . Honestly - apart from possibly a bit of editing of my 'Insights and Reflections' form, I think at this point I'd be fine even if I spent the time from now until the end of Tuesday in a coma. However, always useful to have a bit of margin for error, so will get to work on crunching the numbers for the barrier creams costs and see what I can do about that. Great feeling like I've got some leeway. |

Well, realised that rather than uploading the report on the barrier creams switch as a written document, I was actually meant to write it into one of the stupid templates they use. I normally hate those with a passion, but it was actually useful in this case as I realised I could edit it once written, which meant I could put the barrier cream info on the site even though I haven't yet run the figures on the savings made.
So. Done that...
...updated 'Insights and Reflections' form...
...still have figures to run on barrier cream switch but that one is really an optional extra...
so for practical purposes, I. Am. Done!!!
Will still get those figures run if I can - but, whatever happens now, I've got enough stuff on there to be OK. Thank you to you guys for being my cheering section!
