Portfolio
Your Portfolio is your personal learning log. You can record information in your Portfolio to record activities and decide at a later date whether to submit this information as part of your appraisal; information in your Portfolio is not visible to your Appraiser or Administrators.
Tip: You should aim to update your Portfolio regularly. You will benefit most if you enter the details of an event/activity/feedback soon after it occurs as it will be fresh in your mind. You can use the Reflection tab to give a structured reflection on the event and help process your thoughts and feelings on the topic, which will help you address any issues or possibilities that you may have otherwise missed.
The Portfolio can be particularly beneficial after completing a quality improvement activity. The structured templates in the Details tab can assist with a post-activity write-up to help make sure you do not miss details of an important entry, documents can be uploaded and then the Reflection tab guides you through giving a thorough reflection. The Six Cs tab will enable you to keep track of which competencies you are excelling in, and which you may need to demonstrate more, which will, in turn, benefit your day-to-day practice.
