Development of the eportfolio will continue and improvements
will be introduced in response to suggestions by users.
Users who would like to see a
paper copy of the six assessment forms used for WPBA, can
download and print copies of the tools. Please note that this
document is slow to download.
The eportfolio is a web-based tool that records details of
achievement, documents all stages of training, and records evidence
of
WPBA and reviews with educational supervisors.
A record of personal development and experience is becoming
mandatory for all doctors. It provides evidence that training has
taken place and allows the GP trainee to reflect on a range of
learning opportunities. The WBPA is defined as the evaluation of a
doctor’s progress in their performance over time, in those areas of
professional practice best tested in the workplace.
Workplace-based assessment brings together teaching, learning
and assessment. Trainees will know what is expected of them and
will have the opportunity to demonstrate attainment over time in a
variety of contexts. The assessment recorded in the ePortfolio will
be drawn from performance and evaluation taking place in the real
situations in which doctors work. It also allows competence in
areas such as team-working to be appraised in a manner which cannot
be done by the
AKT and the
CSA.
Many tools will be completed on-line without the contributor
having to enter the ePortfolio. Writing to many parts of the
ePortfolio will be limited to the trainer or educational
supervisor. The personal section of the ePortfolio will be hidden
to all except the GP trainee.
The ePortfolio will carry the evidence that is considered at
interim and final reviews. Trainees who pass WPBA at final review
and also have a pass in the AKT and CSA will be eligible to apply
for certification of completion of training (CCT), inclusion in the
General Medical Council’s GP Register and membership
of the Royal College of General Practitioners.
