Professional Development Reviews (PDRs)

Another mandatory annual requirement, PDRs are to ensure that your career goals are being met by you, me, the unit and the organisation. Each PDR will –
  1. Review progress in achieving the goals set during the last PDR.
  2. Remediate areas where additional resources / time is needed to meet goals
  3. Set new goals for the coming year
Any concerns re your clinical performance are addressed as close to real time as possible – so there will be no surprises during the PDR.
