Propposed PDP
You can suggest PDPs you think would be beneficial for you to work towards over the next year in your appraisal as Proposed PDPs in form 3 of your appraisal. Your Appraiser will review these and accept, change or reject them. If they are accepted they will be added to your Agreed PDP for next year.
All PDP items should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time bounded). With Appraisal Toolkit for Nurses there is no limit to the number of Proposed PDP Items you can add. It is suggested you use this section if there are areas within your practice in particular you wish to improve.
- Go to your appraisal and click "Proposed PDP" in your left navigation bar
- Click at the top of the table. Complete the Details tab and click

Agreed PDP
These items are added by your Appraiser after your appraisal meeting. They are the PDPs that were agreed upon by yourself and your Appraiser during your appraisal meeting that you will spend the next year working towards.
When your appraisal is “Complete”, these will become your “Current” PDPs.
