Disruption due to COVID-19
Appeals that are already in progress will continue but there may be delays due to reduced availability of both trainees and panel members and will proceed with virtual meetings. Panels members will be in keeping with Gold Guide recommendations. This policy will be kept under regular review.
We understand that this can be a stressful time. Support is available at all stages of your training from the Professional Support Unit.
In the first instance, it can be helpful to informally discuss your ARCP outcome with your educational supervisor or TPD / FPD. A summary of the options for review/appeal are below and full details can be found in the Deanery Appeals Policy.
If you have any further queries in relation to appeals, please contact arcpappeals@nes.scot.nhs.uk
