summary of key changes
that will impact the
FP e-portfolio

Why a new Curriculum?
 Prof John Collins’ report ‘Foundation for Excellence’ highlighted
positive aspects of the Curriculum but particular areas of concern:
1) The purpose of Foundation Training
2) The value of F2 training
3) Long term condition management
4) Excessive assessments
 Alignment to the GMC Trainee Doctor (2011)
 The AoMRC were tasked to address these matters and by result,
produced the FP Curriculum 2012.
Why is this relevant to the TAG?
 Many key changes involve new administrative
processes and new/revised forms to support Curriculum
delivery.
 These new forms and process will be largely be
managed via the e-portfolio, hence engagement with the team
advisory group.
 This presentation is not a substitute for reading the
new Curriculum!
 Please see guidance notes on UKFPO website for detailed Key
Changes.
