Add a PDP Item to your Portfolio *NEW for August 2023*

At the beginning of each post (or placement) those in specialty training posts will have the opportunity to consult with a supervisor about what opportunities the post can offer in terms of meeting the needs of the curriculum they're following. Trainees can use this information to create their Personal Development Plan (PDP).
