Prompt-by-prompt walkthrough

  1. 1

    Use one row for each piece of feedback

    The requirement is five pieces of practice-related feedback gathered during the three-year period.

  2. 2

    Describe the source, not the person

    Use a broad source such as patient feedback, colleague feedback, appraisal, survey, or report and remove identifying detail.

  3. 3

    Record how it arrived

    The log separates the source of feedback from its format, such as verbal, card, survey, or report.

  4. 4

    Capture influence as well as content

    Summarise what the feedback concerned and what changed, improved, or needs further attention in your practice.
