Contacting the central team

For specific appraisal and/or revalidation queries, please contact your Local Administration team in the first instance (local health boards will have local protocols in place to support you).

The Medical Appraisal Scotland team can be contacted by email at Medical.Appraisal@nes.scot.nhs.uk, for all training course / application queries.

If you have a technical query relating to SOAR, please send a helpdesk request to SOAR@nes.scot.nhs.uk.  If you have already submitted a helpdesk request, please wait until a member of the team responds, as continual helpdesk submissions will cause confusion and delay our ability to respond efficiently.
