New Icon comes to Portfolio Online

ARCP on Portfolio Online

It has been possible for some time to do parts of the ARCP process on Portfolio Online, but just recently we have added some new functionality to enable the whole ARCP process to be performed online.

It's with many thanks to those that have already contributed their thoughts that we feel ready to make this new functionality live, but we don't want to stop here. We know that for our product to be great, we have to listen to our end users.

Here are some of the new features we have added to the ARCP process online

  • Submit an ARCP Outcome
  • Sign off an ARCP Outcome Form
  • Release an outcome to a trainee
  • Allow trainees to review and acknowledge an outcome
  • Add an outcome form to a trainee's portfolio

If you try any of these new features out and would like to let us know what you think, please get in touch with one of our team members. You can contact us by phone during office hours on 0844 800 6516, or by email support@training.rcpsych.ac.uk
