Hints & Tips
In Wales we have developed the appraisal process over 10 years. We are always mindful of the important contribution of appraisal to revalidation, but never lose sight of our focus on appraisal as a formative and developmental experience for doctors, of which revalidation issues are only a small part.
- If you are recording an audit, case study or an SEA on the appraisal website, use the correct templates on MARS.

- You can complete your patient/colleague feedback at any point in your revalidation cycle on Orbit360. There is need to wait for approval from your health board, providing you meet the set criteria. We do recommend you complete the feedback during the middle of your revalidation cycle to ensure you have sufficient time to discuss this at an appraisal prior to revalidation.
- You can complete your patient and colleague feedback at different times if you wish – Orbit360 allows you to undertake one feedback at a time but we recommend you do both for ease where possible.
- There are 5 formats you can use to download your patient forms – we offer Welsh, English, Welsh large print, English large print and online codes only. You can also use a combination of paper feedback forms and online codes.

- If you have had no complaints or compliments in the year leading to appraisal, it is probably worth making an entry demonstrating your awareness of your practice complaints process. If you do anything that is not mainstream General Practice, you should read about Whole Practice Appraisal (WPA) on the Wales Revalidation website.
