Details

Use these forms if you are a forensic pathologist who is involved in an annual appraisal process.

Guidance on the appraisal process includes information on:

  • when to submit supporting information to your appraiser
  • what to discuss in the appraisal
  • protocol for investigations or disciplinary procedures
  • how to sign off an appraisal

All forensic pathologists on the Home Office Register of Forensic Pathologists have been given their recommended appraisal date for 2024 to 2025 appraisals.

These forms and guidance should also be used by forensic pathologists employed by the Department of Justice (Northern Ireland) for appraisal and revalidation purposes.

Guide AG-004 and SOP-008RO have been added this year. AG-002 exampled appraisal form has been reinstated after being discontinued last year.

All appraisals must be completed by 31 March 2025.

We are aware some of these publications may have accessibility issues. We are reviewing them so that we can fix these. Read more about our accessible documents policy.
