The following reviews are available on Portfolio Online:

• Induction Meeting

• Psychiatric Supervision Report
• ARCP Educational Supervisor Summary Report
• ARCP

Induction Meeting

The Induction Meeting Form can be completed by a supervisor at the beginning of a placement and contains fields for induction considerations that should be taken into account for the trainee, specific Key Capabilities a trainee might develop in a post, learning methods that might be used and how the trainee might be assessed.

A trainee can request an induction meeting form be completed by a supervisor or supervisors can complete an induction meeting form without a request from the trainee from their own Portfolio Online account.

Supervision Session Form

Following a meeting with a trainee, supervisors may wish to write up notes in a Supervision Session document storing it electronically in both their own account and in the trainee's portfolio.

The Supervision Session Form is designed to record a summary of a conversation between a trainee & a supervisor along with any agreed further action.

One of the benefits of keeping these notes on the system in this way is that they will be stored in both the supervisor's account and the trainee's portfolio. A a trainee can then comment on the document or create a follow-up activity such as a reflection.

If a trainee, or those with non-training portfolios, want to write up notes following a supervision session themselves, they can do this by adding an activity to their portfolio and selecting the 'supervision' proforma. Trainees should note that these forms will be stored in the trainee's portfolio, but will not automatically feature on a trainee's ARCP Outcome Form.

The Psychiatric Supervision Report

The Psychiatric Supervision Report (PSR) is completed at the end of a post by the supervisor and can be created from the trainee's PSPDP page. Trainees can still prompt a supervisor to write this review by requesting a review, which places the report on the supervisor's dashboard.

How to Complete a Psychiatric Supervision Report.

ARCP Educational Supervisor Summary Report

This report is written at the end of a training year or level and summarises a trainee's progress and achievements during that period. It is submitted to the Annual Review of Competence Progression (ARCP) panel.

Supervisors can complete an ARCP Educational Supervisor Summary Report on a trainee from their own Portfolio Online account. Or a trainee can request a review be completed on them by a supervisor.

ARCP

The ARCP is a review in which judgements are made about a trainee's progress against curricula and a decision is made as to whether or not a trainee is ready to move on to the next stage of training. The whole ARCP process can be completed online on Portfolio Online. For more information and step-by-step guides, see The ARCP online.
