Appraisal history on SOAR

Primary Care (GPs):• SOAR was designed for GP Appraisal in 2002.

As such, SOAR has all GPs’ appraisal history as recorded by the Appraisers…

• …but not copies of the Scot 4 forms, unless you used the online version

Secondary Care:• SOAR was introduced to Secondary Care in

2012, and as such, only appraisals done on SOAR using the online forms are recorded

• We have no function to log old paper interviews on SOAR, only new appraisals using SOAR’s online appraisal forms
