It is recommended that all nurses have an annual appraisal. Appraisal is an important part of continuing professional development, as it allows time to reflect on current performance and progress and to set goals for future development. During the annual appraisals, supporting information is used to demonstrate that nurses are continuing to meet the principles and values set out in the NMC Code of Professional Standards. It is, furthermore, a process through which nurses can raise and discuss issues of concern regarding the quality of their clinical work.
