Schedule an ARCP for a Trainee

Deanery administrators typically schedule ARCPs on FOM PortfolioBuilder, but Heads of School can also do this for their respective organisations

Step 1: Log in to your account on FOM PortfolioBuilder.

Step 2: Search for the trainee in the search box.

You can search for a trainee by name, GMC number or e-mail address.

Step 3: Click on the link to the trainee's account.

Step 4: Click on '+Schedule ARCP' on the trainee's portfolio card.

Step 5: Enter the ARCP review date.

The review date will default to today unless otherwise specified.

You may wish to change the review period. The system automatically displays information from the folders in the trainee's portfolio which overlap the ARCP review period.

Step 6: Click on 'Schedule ARCP'.

Once an ARCP has been scheduled, the ARCP date will show in the trainee's portfolio and an ARCP Outcome Form can be created.

The scheduling of ARCPs can be done by anyone involved in the ARCP review process at any time once an ARCP has been scheduled up until such time as the form is submitted and signed off. To find out how to do this, see our step-by-step guide: Complete an ARCP Outcome Form.
