ARCPs
The following is a guide on the ARCP process and requirements for PG Doctors.
ARCPs will be conducted virtually using Microsoft Teams.
This means the panels will review the eportfolios remotely prior to the ARCP date. Therefore, all PG Dr’s must ensure all evidence required, is uploaded at least 1-2 weeks prior to the ARCP date.
* Please note that your Educational Supervisor report MUST be completed and uploaded 1-2 weeks prior to the ARCP
On the day of the ARCP the panel will review all evidence and reach a decision. The PG Dr will be invited to join the meeting to receive and discuss the ARCP outcome as well as offer a 2-slide presentation. All PG Dr’s being assessed will be required to make themselves available.
