Registration

You MUST register with the RCGP in
order to obtain an eportfolio

Without an eportfolio you will not be
able to comply with the requirements of
learning and assessment for your
membership exam
nMRCGP – A competency based
examination

There are 12 competencies which you
need to demonstrate to a competent
level by the end of your training

A competency is the possession and
development of knowledge, skills,
attitude and experience for one to be
able to effectively perform their role

Completing the learning requirements within the
eportfolio
College led assessments
Having demonstrated Out of Hours Competencies
and
Completed your CPR, child safety, leadership and
BLS certificates
1.Workplace based assessments
WPBA







Case Based Discussions – CbD
Consultation exercises – miniCEX
Multisource feedbacks – MSF
Patient Satisfaction questionnaires – PSQ
Directly Observed Procedures - DOPS

Educational Supervisor reviews - ESR
2.Learning requirements
within the eportfolio
To record your learning and reflect on
your learning within the learning log
 To develop a Personal Development


3.College led assessments

Clinical Skills assessment - CSA

Applied Knowledge test (AKT)- MCQ

It is recommended these are taken in
your final year of training (some trainees
do AKT as an st2)
Workplace based assessments MINIMUM requirement in ST1 -1

6 CbD - 2 per 4 month training post

Total of 6miniCEX (or COT in GP placement) -2 per
4 month training post

2 MSF – Each MSF must have at a minimum of 5
replies from clinical staff– so ask more than 5 people
to complete this for you each time and you should get
5 back!

An MSF needs to be completed each time over a 6
week time frame or it wont count – keep an eye on
how many people have replied
Workplace based assessments MINIMUM requirement in ST1 -1

1 Clinical Supervisor Report (CSR) for evey
placement (including GP placement)

All 3 CSR Must be in place by the specified
deadlines – for completion of portfolio ahead
of annual review

(LTFT trainees- assessments are pro-rata, so
the same number will be done over the whole
training period)
How to complete assessments

Refer to the college guide on the eportfolio
 This will involve you downloading forms and
ticket codes for your assessors to complete
each assessment– sounds complicated but
isnt too difficult
 It is your responsibility to ensure the
assessments are complete not for your
supervisor to chase you!
Learning log requirements within the
eportfolio
The learning log contains your record of
your experiences, thoughts feelings and
reflections
 Used as additional evidence to support
your understanding of the GP
curriculum and to demonstrate your
competency progression

Share log with ES
-see learning log guide for further information
on the log
PDP

For every 4 month post a PDP needs to be written in
your eportfolio


This needs to be SMART
Specific to your current rotation, Measurable,
Attainable within a 4 month post, Realistic and Time
sensitive


Tick off the PDP entries when learning achieved
Your PDP is looked at by the faculty at 6mnths into
each year and by the deanery at the end of each
training year
Educational Supervisor (ES) reviews
(2 per year)




Before every ES review you MUST complete a self
assessment, (rating and comments) of each of the 12
competency areas documented in your eportfolio
Your ES will then with you present, make his/her
ratings and comments on each competency area
Your curriculum coverage, skills log, PDP and
learning log are also commented on by your ES in
the review
A judgement is then made on your competency
progression (the aim is to show progression
throughout the 3y scheme)
Annual Review of Competency
Progression (ARCP)– Information
only



Annually, following the submission of your 11mnths
Educational Supervisors review your eportfolio is
looked at by the Deanery. Deadline will be 20th June
2014
If your assessments, reviews, learning logs, PDP are
all satisfactory you are automatically moved to the
next year of training or signed off at the end of ST3
If your eportfolio is found to be unsatisfactory you will
be expected to come to the Deanery and this may
affect your training progression
Revalidation – Information only



From December 2012 all doctors are required to be
revaidated regulary
For doctors in training this would occur on completion
of training (or at 5 years in training)
As part of the ARCP process you are required to
submit an Enhanced Form R on which you are
required to record any complaints / Significant Events
/ Serious Untoward Incidents and is an important part
of your revalidation process
In conclusion
Enjoy your training programme
 Remember to keep your eportfolio up to
date, to complete your assessments
and reviews on time.
 Your chances of getting your nMRCGP
exam are then hugely increased
 Good Luck
