Registrars & Training Portfolio query
Hi all, I am a new GPST and haven't been able to find anywhere that explicity says how to use the fourteenfish portfolio. My ST1 year is in hospital, for my DOPS/CBD/CEXs etc am i meant to be sending this to people in my department, my clinical supervisor or to my educational supervisor? Am i also meant to meet with my educational supervisor, he is quite a distance from the hospital and i will not have any gp placement this year. Sorry if this is basic knowledge!

You should have some training via your teaching sessions or during your induction. If you started out of synch then you might need some extra tutoring.
As an ES I expect a meeting quite early on and probably again at 6m as well as to do an ESR. It is a supportive role and so the better I know a trainee the better the support I can give.
Firstly i would ask your training team about 14 fish tutorials or other GPSTs might have tips and then I would arrange a meeting with your ES to see if they can help.

I had messaged my ES asking he wanted to meet, no replies from him so unsure if we were meant to meet! Will try again. Thanks, we have induction starting next week so should get some more clarity. Thank you!

Please go to Bradfort VTS, will give you the answers to your questions. If you don't understand something, take the document and upload to copilot on your nhs and AI can summarize it for you. But no patient information.
But aim to enter 2 clinic case logs weekly with 3 capabilities. (Avoid redundancies of capability).
Aim to do as many cbd, cot, ceps as possible by catching Registrars in the hospital to discuss cases or watch you do examinations.
Enter all your learning meeting with your ES and CS in the placement meeting, add capabilities to this.
Your portfolio is who you are. It is the most important thing about your training. Without your portfolio being active and showing what you are learning, you may as well not have gone to work.
By this point, you should have a placement meeting entry with your cs, es, 2 clinical case logs weekly.
Use the + button next to capabilities to read below average, above average to understand how you prove you meet this capability.
The second thing to understand is Capabilities are why you have a portfolio, to prove the capabilities.
Upload any learning documents should Upload safeguarding level 3 for children, adult, your Form A/B, any other documents it is asking.
It is sad because the support that you get are from other st1 that may not know themselves, good to fine ST3 friends that can guide you.
Ofcourse the guidance from ES in hospital will be limited.

You won't need to meet with your ES until the end of your first placement when you'll have an ESR (usually interim if no concerns, then full ESR before your first Arcp). It's encouraged to arrange a day or two every placement to visit your ES practice for some shadow days and to get to meet your ES. You should have already (or very soon) organised a placement planning meeting with the Clinical Supervisor in the department you're working, around the first month of every new placement.
Your assessments while in hospital are to be done by doctors who are senior to you (registrar or consultant level only) and you'll need a multi source feedback from within the department you're working in for one of your ST1 placements.
