Dental Foundation Training Handbook (Educational Supervisor)

The e-Portfolio - An Introduction

Part of your role as an Educational Supervisor will be to engage in you trainee’s e-portfolio and complete necessary work items in a timely manner. The eportfolio website address  is https://dentaleportfolio.hee.nhs.uk/.

Your trainee will use their e-portfolio to record all of the clinical work and to submit written reports such as clinical reflections and tutorial reflections.  Your trainee’s e-portfolio will be used by the Review of Competence Progression (RCP) assessment panels, which meet twice a year at 6-monthly intervals, to assess your trainee’s progress through Dental Foundation Training therefore the ES will need to ensure that they are completing your e-portfolio work as needed. ‘Satisfactory Completion’ of Dental Foundation Training is dependent on you trainee (and them) maintaining their e-portfolio regularly and contemporaneously.

Please be aware that the e-portfolio is a platform that may in some circumstances be viewed by others, some outside the profession, especially in serious cases where a significant event involving a patient has occurred. For this reason it is essential that all of the e-portfolio entries are compliant with data protection laws and do not refer to patients by name. You entries must remain anonymous with respect to patient identifiable detail and address the learning from an objective perspective rather than a subjective one.

There are comprehensive eportfolio user guides to help you navigate the RCP process and this will be sent to you by the RCP Administrator Rachel Morgan.

Rachel Morgan (Record of Competency Progression (RCP) administrator) will be in touch with you at various times throughout the year to advise you on what activity needs to be completed and by when.

If you have any issues in relation to the eportfolio, please contact Rachel Morgan (HEIW) Rachel.Morgan30@wales.nhs.uk.
