Title: A guide to peer appraisal. Author: Walker H, Joines M. Journal: Nurs Manag (Harrow); 2004 Apr; 11(1):22-4. PubMed ID: 15119087. Abstract: The experience of peer appraisal can be a positive one. The process can help to establish a shared understanding of what is needed for individual, team and organisational objectives to be achieved. Traditional appraisals tend to be about 'me'; the peer approach is about 'us'. The benefits can include a greater sense of ownership, empowerment and responsibility, more support within peer groups and better communication. It may be considered for nurses in all fields.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
