3 INTRODUCTION 1. The revalidation portfolio has been designed and built by a cohort of seven medical royal colleges and Equiniti 360 Clinical. The portfolio gives you an online tool to store and manage your supporting information for medical appraisal and revalidation. 2. The revalidation portfolio is free of charge to subscribing members and fellows of the participating colleges. Web based and personal to you, the portfolio is of benefit if you wish to manage and store your supporting information for appraisal and revalidation privately/outside of your organisation. It also moves with you if you change employment. It links with other college systems such as CPD diaries, avoiding the need for duplication. 3. The main modules of the revalidation portfolio are: Your profile Record your personal and professional details; Record your current scope of work; Nominate another person to access and administer the revalidation portfolio on your behalf; and Grant appropriate access levels to your appraiser and responsible officer (RO). Your portfolio and supporting information Upload your supporting information; Record your reflective notes Publish or export your portfolio ready for your appraisal; and Search your supporting information. Your appraisal Record previous appraisals conducted outside of the revalidation portfolio; and Track your progress in compiling information for your current appraisal. Your revalidation Collate your annual appraisals over a five year revalidation cycle; and Track your progress in compiling information for your revalidation. Appraisers and responsible officers Review your doctors portfolios for appraisal and revalidation. Help and support Access FAQs, key documents and contact information for help and support from your college. Revalidation Portfolio User Guide Page 3 Version 4.2, May 2013

4 STARTING TO USE THE REVALIDATION PORTFOLIO Logging on to the revalidation portfolio 4. The revalidation portfolio can be accessed via Your unique username and password will be ed to you from ics.com when you first register. Your username and password should be kept confidential at all times. It is important to log off after each use, especially when using a shared computer. If you lose your username or password there are links on the log in page that you can use to receive reminders. Confidentiality / Security 5. All entries in the revalidation portfolio should be anonymous and should contain no personally identifiable information about your patients or your colleagues. The revalidation portfolio has been through rigorous security checks to ensure the security of your data and identity. 6. The system allows you to choose who can view your portfolio; you always maintain full control over access to the information. You might select a nominee (for example, a secretary or PA) to help administer your portfolio. You will also be able to give viewing rights to your appraiser and RO, though you decide exactly what supporting information they can view and when. Feedback on the system 7. The revalidation portfolio has been extensively tested by a network of doctors across the UK. We welcome feedback and suggestions on how the portfolio might be further improved for users. Please contact your college helpdesk details are on the Help (Contact Us) screen. Revalidation Portfolio User Guide Page 4 Version 4.2, May 2013

5 HOME PAGE 8. The Home page displays announcements from your college and revalidation related news from organisations such as the GMC. The Home page also shows a summary of your progress in completing your profile and portfolio. Clicking on these will take you to the relevant modules in the revalidation portfolio. Home page screen Revalidation Portfolio User Guide Page 5 Version 4.2, May 2013

6 MANAGING YOUR PROFILE 9. The Profile section is where you maintain your personal and professional details. It also allows for the uploading of qualifications, job plan(s) and appraiser details. 10. Some of your details (name, date of birth, address, GMC and college membership numbers) are provided via your college membership database as part of the secure registration and log in process for this system. It is not possible for you to alter these details in the revalidation portfolio. If any of these fields show incorrect information, click on the link at the bottom of the Personal Details screen. From here, you can update your details in your college membership database. Once changed, your details will be automatically updated in your revalidation portfolio profile (please note this process may not be completed on the same day). Personal details screen Changing designated body or responsible officer 11. If your designated body (normally where you carry out most of your practice) or RO changes, you need to the details of this change to your college revalidation support desk these details are on the Contact Us screen under Help. Please state your name and GMC number in this . Your profile will be amended to include the name of your new RO as soon as possible. You can amend your work address on the Professional Details screen. Record the deanery you now fall into and indicate whether you have any clinical and/or educational supervisory responsibilities in this new post. Revalidation Portfolio User Guide Page 6 Version 4.2, May 2013

7 Granting administrative access 12. At no point should you give your user name and password to anybody else. However, the revalidation portfolio allows you to grant full read and write access to another person to administer your portfolio on your behalf. This might, for example, be a secretary or PA. From the Additional Details screen of the Edit Profile pages, click on the address book icon to search for your administrator. It is likely that you will need to add their details (name and address) do this via the Add Nominee button in the pop up box. While some users may find this a useful function, it is not mandatory. The portfolio remains your responsibility and you are ultimately in charge of the content that is loaded on to the system, so you need to ensure that any information submitted by someone else is accurate, appropriately categorised, and contains no personally identifiable information about your patients or colleagues. Adding additional details screen Revalidation Portfolio User Guide Page 7 Version 4.2, May 2013

8 Adding an appraiser 13. The final screen in the Profile section lets you add your appraisal details. Initially, the revalidation portfolio will automatically allocate you an appraisal date you should amend this date and enter an estimated date if you do not know your precise appraisal date. 14. You will then need to add the details of your main appraiser and any additional appraisers. The main appraiser will be the person who can, with your permission, view your portfolio of supporting information. Using the address book icon, search for your appraiser in the system. If your appraiser is found in the system highlight the correct name and press ok. If your appraiser is not found, click the Add Appraiser button to add an appraiser to the system. You will need to ensure you have certain information about your appraiser before completing their details: their full name and title, GMC number, designated body and address. 15. Once you have added your appraiser details, click Finish and Publish. This will save your details, and also generate a default revalidation cycle (as long as you have entered an appraisal date). You can also indicate at this point whether you want your main appraiser and /or RO to be able to view your profile and portfolio of supporting information.

9 YOUR SUPPORTING INFORMATION AND PORTFOLIO 16. The revalidation portfolio allows you to collect, store and manage the supporting information required for your annual appraisal andd revalidation. It also allows you to export this supporting information into an electronic file to send to your appraiser orr append to an electronicc appraisal form. Alternatively, with your permission, your mainn appraiser can view yourr revalidation portfolio online. Managing your portfolio 17. Your day to day professional practice includes many activities that you may wish to record as supporting information towards your appraisal and revalidation. It would therefore be good practice to upload your supporting information and enter your reflective notes over the course of the year. These notes can be editedd as your thinking changes over time or in light off new events. 18. Each time you review your portfolio, first refer to the My Progress section for a quick overview of what still needs to be completed. Before your appraisal, revieww which supporting information items you wish to submit to your appraiser, and set the statuss of those documents to published. Those documents you do not wish to submit to your appraiser should be given a status of draft. 19. Guidance on the supporting information requirements for appraisal and revalidation can c be found in GMC and college documents via the Help section inn the Revalidation Portfolio. Getting help 20. Advice and guidance notes for each supporting information item type (e.g. CPD, quality improvement activity) can be found on the Portfolio screen (see paragraph 23).

Reflective notes should be insightful and demonstrate your analytical thinking, learning and forward action planning. Click on the large blue box next to the reflective notes field for guidance and prompts. You should enter your reflective notes as soon as possible after the activity or event the supporting information record is based on to ensure as much recollection and meaning as possible. You can always edit or add to these reflective notes over the course of the year as your thinking changes. It might also be a good idea to review, edit and tidy up your reflective notes before giving your appraiser access to your portfolio. Attributes: GMC attributes 31. By choosing a supporting information type (see paragraph 25) the revalidation portfolio will automatically map your supporting information record to the attributes in the GMC Good Medical Practice Framework for Appraisal and Revalidation. However, it is your responsibility to make sure you cover all the necessary GMC attributes and this can only be done through consideration of the content of your supporting information. Click on the green Review GMP Mapping button and if necessary un tick or tick the attribute boxes. Attributes: educational supervisor attributes 32. If you are an educational supervisor or involved in medical education or training you may have information in support of these roles, e.g. survey report on your teaching skills.

13 Status of supporting information record 33. You have the option of setting the status of your supporting information records as either draft or published. Any record set as published will be viewable by your appraiser (including any reflective notes) when you give him or her access to your revalidation portfolio. Supporting information set as draft will not be accessible to anyone else who might look at your portfolio. 34. You may want to initially set the status of your supporting information records as draft. You can opt to change the status from draft to published after a final review of your supporting information as part of the process in preparing for the annual appraisal. Valid and retention date 35.

YOUR REVALIDATION Maintain revalidation cycles 59.

By collecting annual appraisal documents (to be shared with your appraiser), this contributes to a full revalidation portfolio (which can be shared with your RO). 60.

20 YOUR REVALIDATION Maintain revalidation cycles 59. The revalidation portfolio allows you to collect supporting information for r annual appraisal and organisess this information into five year revalidation cycles. By collecting annual appraisal documents (to be shared with your appraiser), this contributes to a full revalidation portfolio (which can be shared with your RO). 60. When you first log into your revalidation portfolioo and go to the Revalidation section, the start date for your first revalidation cycle and estimated next revalidation r date will have been set to a system default, ass long as youu have clicked Finish and Publish for your profile information. 61. Both of these dates are likely to be incorrect for you. The cyclee start date and estimated next revalidation date may be affected by your own and your organisation s readiness in collecting the required supporting information. So, after entering your profile information, consult with your appraiser or RO to determine thee correct start date for your revalidation cycle. This will vary depending upon how many previous appraisal records your appraiserr or RO require you to supply them with at the point of revalidation. For example, some may ask you to go back one year, others may ask you to go back longer. 62. If you have not been notified of your revalidation date either by b your RO or the GMC, you can set the date in your portfolio to a provisional future revalidation date. Once the GMC has confirmed your future revalidation date, you can update the estimated e next revalidation date. 63. Setting the cycle start date and estimated next revalidation date is important in setting up and making best use of your revalidation portfolio, e.g. in determining how farr back to go in i recording your appraisal history and uploading supporting information forr your next appraisal. Amending your revalidation cycle information 64. You can amend your existing revalidation cycle dates by using the edit function on the revalidation cycles screen under Revalidation. Maintainn revalidation cycle screen Revalidation Portfolio User Guide Page 20 Version 4.2,, May 2013

65. If you have been told your actual revalidation date by the GMC, but that date has not yet been reached, you must only enter that date in the estimated next revalidation cycle date field for now

21 65. If you have been told your actual revalidation date by the GMC, but that date has not yet been reached, you must only enter that date in the estimated next revalidation cycle date field for now and leave the Revalidation Date blank. 66. Only once you have been revalidated, should you put the actual revalidation date in the Revalidation Date field. This is because entering a date in this field will close and lock your current, open revalidation cycle and create a new open revalidation cycle automatically. The start date of the new cycle will automatically be the day after the last revalidation cycle was closed. The estimated next revalidation date should be adjusted to be five years in the future (but you can change this date if your future revalidation date changes for any reason). Any appraisals completed during the now closed revalidation cycle will then be pulled into a historical record which you can choose to export via the Appraisal History screen. Any supporting information and appraisals completed during the new open cycle can also be viewed in the Appraisal History screen (see screenshot above paragraph 56). 67. The revalidation module also allows you an overview of the supporting information documentation you have collated for current and previous appraisal periods in your current, open revalidation cycle. Go to the Revalidation Overview screen and click on view portfolio in a particular appraisal year to access a read only version of your portfolio contents for that appraisal period. Revalidation overview screen Historical revalidation cycles 68. Please note historical revalidation cycles are only kept in the system for two complete cycles. Therefore if you have an open cycle and two closed revalidation cycles in the system, the system will you to ask you to export the oldest closed cycle from the system. You have 60 days in which to export the information. If you do not export the oldest revalidation cycle, the information will be deleted and you will no longer have access to it.

22 APPRAISERS AND RESPONSIBLE OFFICERS 69. The My Doctors section is an additional screen seen by an appraiser or RO who has a revalidation portfolio account and has been given access to view the accounts of doctors for whom they are responsible. A doctor will be able to select their appraiser either when they complete their profile or within the appraisal preparation screen. Doctors will only appear in the My Appraisees screen if they have indicated (via the tick box) that their appraiser and / or RO are allowed to view their account.
