Using E-Portfolio<br />
It is the responsibility of the trainee to keep up-to-date accounts of their teaching and experience and to ensure<br />
that sufficient numbers of assessments are completed.<br />
Once your account is created you may log in by going to: www.nhsePortfolios.org<br />
• On the e-Portfolio ensure all details on your profile are correct, in particular your email address, postal<br />
address and GMC number.<br />
• The 2009 Curriculum (GIM) and 2010 <strong>Cardiology</strong> Curriculum describe the competencies<br />
required by all <strong>Cardiology</strong> Trainees and are closely based on Good Medical Practice. All<br />
competencies must be supported by evidence. Each competency must be signed off by your<br />
educational or clinical supervisor and must be supported by evidence. This will ensure your e-Portfolio<br />
is packed full of evidence and reflects your clinical and other activities.<br />
• This evidence is based on workplace-based assessments (WPBA), log entries, audit, teaching<br />
attendance, other educational events, your own teaching, conferences, research, etc. In addition, you<br />
should complete the self-assessment for each competency and support your comments with evidence<br />
that you feel is relevant to support any sign off.<br />
• Trainees are responsible for arranging their own assessments. You must ensure you do enough WPBAs –<br />
there are minimum requirements for each ARCP and Interim Review stage, but would advise to do more,<br />
in particular ACATs to build up evidence for your competencies.<br />
• You should ensure your WPBA are done by the most senior doctor, preferably a consultant, or associate<br />
specialist with a minimum of 50% assessed by a doctor in one of these grades.<br />
• You must have your assessments done by a variety of people.<br />
• The MSF is a tool used to assess generic skills such as leadership, communication and team working; for<br />
this tool to work effectively you should have at least 12 respondents for this to be meaningful. It is an<br />
expectation that a minimum of one third of MSF contributions come from Consultants. Other assessors<br />
could include: senior trainees and experienced nursing and allied health professional colleagues.<br />
• You must also ensure your links to the curricula are signed off by either your Educational Supervisor or<br />
College Tutor in order to verify your learning. Your supervisor does this by accessing your e-Portfolio,<br />
going to the curriculum and selecting and rating you on each competency you have linked. Please not<br />
that this is a very time consuming task and should not be left to the last minute.<br />
• You should record any absences from work on your e-Portfolio – this will be cross-referenced with<br />
medical staffing records. This is further mandated by your sign off of your probity and health declarations.<br />
Therefore every time you are absent for reasons of sickness/compassionate leave, etc you must ensure<br />
medical staffing are informed for their records.<br />
