The dashboard page is the centre of the E-Portfolio from where everything can be accessed. It is divided into three main sections. At the top is a header containing several icons leading to different areas, plus a photograph of yourself (if you have uploaded one).
Below that is a magenta coloured area which gives your details and those of your ES, Scheme and TPD.
The third section is the main body of the page which is divided into three columns. Each column has subsections each of which shows a portfolio item title plus numbers giving information about that item's completion status, or an indicator button coloured red or green displaying whether or not an item is completed (red or green) and who has next to provide input to this item.
Pass your mouse over the image below and you will be able to find out more about the sections and items. Some of the items you can click on as they are linked to pages in this handbook which give you more information.
Portfolio Documentation
This area takes you to many of the items that you will need to complete on a regular basis. Here are the assessments and some specific reflective logs. As the items are completed, the figures will change giving an indication of your progress towards the required numbers.
Competencies
This section takes you to pages which give cumulative totals of your assessments; either the competencies assessed or the scores obtained. There is also a link to the page which shows the competencies in the Professionalism, Management and Leadership domains which you have recorded as having been addressed..
Logs
Most of the logs itemised in this area need attention on a regular basis. The Reflective log is one of the most important areas for you to use fully and reliably.

Activities
During your DFT year, you will carry out several activities, including a Multi Source Feedback (MSF) survey, a Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ) and a review of Patient's Records. You will also produce a case presentation and a clinical audit, both of which will need to be uploaded to the page in this area.
Reviews of Competence
Two reviews of your progress will be made during the year: one after six months, an Interim Review of Competency Progression (IRCP); and a Final Review of Competency Progressions (FRCP) towards the end of the year. The reports from your ES, your TPD and the review Panels are accessed from here.
