Appraisal toolkit |

 |
NHS England's funding for the Clarity appraisal toolkit has ceased, if you are not continuing with it you will lose all access to the system and stored information on 31 March 2016. There is no requirement to use any particular vehicle for your appraisal, but GPs intending to use an alternative supplier are advised to inform their appraisers well before their next appraisal date, and check the mechanism for transferring previous appraisal data from Clarity.
