The Online Reviews

There are currently two reviews available on FOM PortfolioBuilder:

• Supervision Session
• ARCP

Supervision Session

Following a meeting with a trainee, supervisors may wish to write up notes and can do this in the Supervision Session document storing it electronically in both their own and the trainee's FOM PortfolioBuilder accounts. 

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 is that a trainee can then comment on the document or create a follow-up PDP Item or activity to the review. Also, supervision session notes automatically feature on a trainee's ARCP Outcome Form so that ARCP reviewers can access them easily during a trainee's ARCP.

Trainees can prompt a supervisor to write this review by requesting a review or a supervisor can write a review on a trainee.

ARCP

The ARCP is a review in which judgements are made about a trainee's progress against the competences, 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 now be completed online. For more information on this review, see our guides and articles on the ARCP Online.
