Job Planning & Appraisals

    Clinical service design meets medical rota execution

    Plan services the way clinicians work. Agree job plans, monitor performance and run appraisals, with validated plans handed straight to Medics Rostering.

    Job planning

    Job plans that match the service

    Build medical and AHP job plans session by session, including PAs, activity and commitments. Model service demand from historical activity, referral patterns and pathway timings, so job plans reflect how care is actually delivered.

    • PA breakdown across direct clinical care, SPAs and additional responsibilities
    • Weekly session timetables for clinics, theatre, MDTs and ward rounds
    • LTFT and full-time calculations
    • Objectives tracked as on track or at risk
    • Validated plans become rota patterns with no manual re-entry

    Appraisals & revalidation

    Never miss an appraisal

    Assign appraisers, set due dates and follow every appraisal from allocation to sign-off. Overdue appraisals and repeat deferrals are flagged early, so responsible officers have everything they need for revalidation.

    • Bulk appraiser allocation by team or department
    • Status tracking from assigned to signed off
    • Overdue and repeat deferral flags
    • Every change recorded with its reason in the audit log
