7 February 2023

If you feel that your portfolio have been unfairly graded you have the right to appeal against the decision. This decision however should not be taken lightly and you should be clear on your reasons before you proceed.

You are advised to discuss your appeal with a senior member of staff before you submit your appeal, but this is not a mandatory requirement. The following guidelines will ensure that the Appeals Board is able to review your appeal on its individual merits.

Candidate Instructions

  • If you wish to appeal against a decision made on a section or sections of your portfolio, you should apply in writing to the Appeals Board at ARTP Education, c/o the ARTP Administrator as quickly as possible following confirmation of your results. This appeal must be received within two weeks following publication of your results.
     
  • You should state clearly:
    a. What specific grievance you have
    b. Details confirming your appeal
    c. Any specific personnel concerned & any dates or times concerned
    d. Any other relevant information which would support your appeal
     
  • A standard letter confirming receipt of your appeal will be sent within two weeks of receipt of your letter from the ARTP Administrator.
     
  • Your appeal will be considered by a panel of Appeals Committee Members which will include: one or two Executive or Education Committee members, who are not directly involved with the individual appeal case and one or two people who are not currently involved with ARTP committees, but have knowledge in either Respiratory Medicine/Physiology & /or Assessment processes. (at least one member from each representation group should be involved).
     
  • The portfolio will be reviewed by a different assessor and re-evaluated following the standard assessment format. A non-member of the Education or Executive Committees will verify the re-marked results.
     
  • A formal reply with the decision on your appeal will be sent within 8 weeks of receipt of your appeal letter.
     
  • A Report will be forwarded to the candidate, which will give full details of the Appeal Board’s decision and how it was reached.

Please send your appeal to admin@artp.org.uk
