How many colleague responses do I need?

When you create your Survey we would recommend that you invite at least 18 colleagues with good range of professionals, with 50% Non-clinical.  

You will need 15 responses to satisfy requirements of most areas of NHS England and Designated Bodies. If you are not sure of the expectations for your Designated Body or if you have trouble collecting 15 responses. We recommend you check with your Appraiser or your local Appraisal Service and get back to us. In certain circumstances we can close the survey with less responses with the approval of these authorities.

After 15 responses have been received the system waits 7 days then emails you to let you know that your colleague survey is now closeable.
