Method: A national survey of healthcare educators is used to inform, analyse and evaluate the literature pertaining to professional appraisal theories and systems.
Findings: The main theme to emerge centres around the inadequacies of current appraisal systems and practices.
Conclusion: Nurse educators and healthcare professionals should be creative and proactive in their approaches to the appraisal process, to enable more effective and meaningful appraisal processes and outcomes.
