Portfolio
As a Cardiology Trainee you will use the web-based NHS ePortfolio developed by the JRCPTB in line with regulations outlined by the Gold Guide.
The e-Portfolio provides a record of progress through training and the acquisition of competencies based on the relevant curricula. The e-Portfolio includes facilities for direct recording fo Workplace Based Assessments (WPBAs), records of appraisal, Educational Supervisor reports and ARCP outcomes. Within the KSS Deanery, all Trainees including LAT's must maintain the NHS e-Portfolio as evidence of learning and progression.
e-Portfolio is designed with three purposes in mind:
- As a learning tool for trainees,
- To assist with educational supervision,
- As a central source of information for all those involved in training.
The trainee’s main responsibility is to ensure the e-Portfolio is kept up to date; this includes recording your reflections on learning and recording your progress through the curriculum by linking to appropriate documentation and providing evidence of competencies achieved. The content of the e-Portfolio feeds directly into the Annual Review of Competence Progression (ARCP) and ultimately, the final sign-off for Cardiology & General (Internal) Medicine.
Access and Enrolment
A temporary e-Portfolio account is created by the School of Medicine at the Deanery headquarters upon appointment to a training post and is managed locally by members of the Trusts Postgraduate Centres.
The temporary account will be active for three months, during which time Trainees must enrol with the JRCPTB.
If after three months the trainee has failed to enrol then the e-Portfolio account will be locked until enrolment has been completed.
Once you have been issued with an account by the deanery you will be sent a username and password.
