The document discusses improving nursing appraisal to meet revalidation requirements. It provides an overview of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board's (ABUHB) experience as the only Welsh pilot site for revalidation, with over 800 nurses participating. It describes how ABUHB quality assures the nursing appraisal process by defining quality standards, improving quality through processes and methods, and measuring compliance. It also discusses how appraisal and annual reviews can be used to monitor nursing development by aligning activities like practice hours, CPD, feedback, and reflections to revalidation requirements. The document concludes by looking forward to revalidation being fully implemented based on lessons learned from the pilot.
