This book is a guide to appraising, recruiting and selecting consultants and junior doctors and focuses on the core skills required of doctors who are responsible for making these decisions. Based on extensive research involving over 600 medical interviews and numerous meetings with panel members and chairs, this book gives many examples of good practice. Recommended to all doctors - consultants, general practitioners, trainees and junior doctors - as well as managers in primary and secondary care, executive and non-executive directors, chairs of trusts involved in medical recruitment, and human resource managers involved in medical appointments, appraisal, and revalidation.
