Role and responsibilities of the trainee
It is primarily the trainee's responsibility to enter information into the JRCPTB ePortfolio but supervisors also have access to shared parts of the ePortfolio and have a responsibility to record supervisor reports, ARCP outcomes and confirm the record of competence.
Trainees are responsible for keeping their ePortfolio updated in line with the curricula requirements. They will need to make sure they know who their local administrator is and do the following:
- Make sure the post is up to date with current post details with educational and clinical supervisors assigned to each post
- Ensure the required assessments are completed for each rotation/post
- Log reflections, courses attended, certificates
- Keep personal details updated
- Appraisals and development plan
- Link assessments against the curricula competencies achieved
It is the trainee's responsibility to make sure that the ePortfolio and all assessments are completed and updated. Any queries should be directed to local deanery/HEE local office, postgraduate centre or trust administrator as the first point of call.
