Add a Career Entry

A career entry is a form that can be used to enter information into Portfolio Online about specialty training posts, time out of programme (OOP), extended absences and non-training posts.

It is important that career entry forms are completed because they contain essential data for ARCP and appraisals.

Step 1: Go to the 'Portfolio' page of your trainee account on Portfolio Online.

Step 2: Click on 'Career History'.

Step 3: Click on '+New Career Entry'.

Step 4: Select the type of proforma from the drop-down box.

Step 5: Click on 'Create New Activity'.

Step 6: Enter the details on the form.

POtip: Trainees should make sure the fields for start and end dates of posts, the % full time equivalent field & the months counted towards training field are accurate. This is important because ARCP panels use this information to calculate a trainee's completion of training date.

Step 7: Click on 'Submit'.
