Health care is moving towards greater accountability and openness as demanded by the public, Government and health care professions themselves, and peer appraisal is an important part of this process. In clear and simple stages it takes the reader through the ten steps to develop and implement a system that is right for both the practice and individual doctor. It provides a basis for doctors' external appraisal and revalidation and offers a structure to give insights into both clinical and non-clinical aspects of a doctor's work. It also provides guidance on identifying areas of strength and weakness in order to improve the practice's and individuals' performance and quality of care.
