    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.
