The redevelopment is part of an ongoing improvement process to make the ePortfolio more user friendly for GPs in training. The Trainee ePortfolio is an essential tool for GP trainees as they complete their training programme and is in line with General Medical Council guidelines.
Following extensive consultation and feedback from users, features of the Trainee ePortfolio now include cutting edge coding language, ASP.NET, which is compliant and compatible with most current user platforms.
The new-look also incorporates:
a new dashboard feature for easy navigation
the capacity for trainees and supervisors to link directly to evidence in Educational Supervisor Reports (ESRs) and an email feature allowing users to request that evidence is reviewed
the opportunity to directly transfer information from Trainee ePortfolio to Revalidation ePortfolio once MRCGP has been achieved
mechanisms to allow the College's dedicated ePortfolio team to easily implement new updates
All current and new Trainee ePortfolio users will receive access to an online guide explaining the new navigational features and functions offered by the update.
In order to implement these substantial improvements, the Trainee ePortfolio website will be taken offline from 5pm on Friday 2nd August 2013 until the morning of Wednesday 7th August 2013. This will ensure that the update is ready for the start of the next training year.
Dr Jenny Fox, Chair of the ePortfolio Development Group said: "We have listened to feedback from our trainees and made a number of slight modifications that we think will make a big difference to users. We will continue to review the system so that it continues to deliver what our trainees need as they record their progress towards becoming GPs."
