16	FPC MINUTES: 
All applicants are included, evaluated against each of the criteria separately, scored, banded and ranked.

Guidance on scoring for teaching and general contribution (paras 5.20 and 5.21) has been followed.

Justification for high scores has been included in the minutes (paras 5.20, 5.21, 5.30, 8.34).

Additional considerations are noted: FPC minutes show how they have been considered, what action has been taken and why.  The minutes also state whether and what allowance has been made for any additional considerations.  Advice has been sought from the HRBM and further details have been sought where required, e.g. medical advice obtained (from OHS) in cases of sickness and disability.

Interdisciplinary cases have been considered: and an appropriate representative from that field consulted (e.g. additional reference/invited to 2nd FPC meeting).  As appropriate, guidance about relevant/appropriate Sub-FPC Secretary provides advice on Committee(s) to consider application.  These deliberations are included in the FPC minutes.

Any other considerations mentioned in the application were accounted for at the meeting.

Info in FPC minutes: about special considerations and interdisciplinarity matches info in Document 7 and individual application.

Banding and scoring: consistent with guidance, with no joint ranking, as follows:
