Methods used to assess members’ performance<br />
99 The Council has an agreed policy <strong>and</strong> process in place for reviewing <strong>and</strong><br />
enhancing the effectiveness of both the Council itself <strong>and</strong> its members. <strong>Annual</strong><br />
performance reviews of the Chair <strong>and</strong> individual members took place in <strong>2013</strong>-<br />
20<strong>14</strong>.<br />
100 The performance review of the Chair of the Council is undertaken by the Vice-<br />
Chairs. The review takes a structured, objective, evidence-based approach. It<br />
includes a self-assessment by the Chair, peer assessment by the Council<br />
members <strong>and</strong> assessment by the Chief Executive <strong>and</strong> Registrar (<strong>and</strong> through her<br />
or him, the directors). The outcomes are used to agree objectives <strong>and</strong> ascertain<br />
development needs for the coming year. A similar process is in place for individual<br />
Council members led by the Chair.<br />
Senior management team remuneration <strong>and</strong> performance assessment<br />
101 The senior management team (called the Executive) comprises the Chief<br />
Executive <strong>and</strong> Registrar <strong>and</strong> directors who report directly to her or him. They are<br />
not members of the Council or trustees of the <strong>NMC</strong>.<br />
102 The Chief Executive <strong>and</strong> Registrar is the only employee appointed directly by <strong>and</strong><br />
accountable to the Council <strong>and</strong> has decision-making authority to the extent<br />
described in the annual governance statement as delegated by the Council. The<br />
only remuneration details disclosed in full are therefore those of the Chief<br />
Executive <strong>and</strong> Registrar. The employment contract of the Chief Executive <strong>and</strong><br />
Registrar normally requires notice of six months to be given by either party to<br />
terminate the contract. For directors the period is three months.<br />
