NHS Grampian Appointment Round - Good Practice in Planning and Publicity (2023)

9 September 2024

 

This Good Practice Case Study on an appointment round seeking new members for NHS Grampian in 2022 demonstrates the effectiveness of bespoke assessment designs (such as board paper reviews and presentations) in identifying board members that can effectively contribute to the work of boards. 

Members of selection panels may wish to consider this case study to understand how tailored assessment methods can help identify appointees in a way that accurately evaluates their likely performance on board.

Good Practice in Public Appointments - Publicity

There is no one size fits all to producing diverse and effective boards, and the 2022 Code encourages new and innovative ways of running appointment rounds. It is important that approaches taken are tailored to the specific posts being advertised for, and where new ways of working have proven to be effective, good practice case studies can aid selection panels faced with similar circumstances – to use, learn, adapt and improve upon. The current ‘snapshot’ case study aims to review good practices coming out of the publicity of appointment rounds, and provide examples of what selection panels have done well within it. The case studies use appointment rounds concluded within the last 12 months and their associated end of round reporting material to inform their content.
