Non-urgent advice: E-portfolio principles
All foundation doctors (FDs) have access to an electronic portfolio (e-portfolio). FDs are expected to record their learning in the e-portfolio, and will receive written feedback and assessment from their supervisors through the e-portfolio.
Throughout the training year the FD will demonstrate learning and engagement with the programme by:
– undertaking and recording formative learning events;
– keeping a ‘learning log’ of core learning sessions attended, including simulation and, where required, performing to an acceptable standard;
– taking part in and recording other learning activities including non-core learning and self-directed learning;
– undertaking reflections including summary narratives;
– maintaining a contemporaneous e-portfolio, engaging with feedback on training and completing the necessary records for revalidation;
– providing feedback on the training programme;
– undertaking multisource feedback.
