Turas is the NES portfolio platform used throughout the foundation programme. You should all have access to this before starting work; if not please email fv.postgraduatemedicaleducation@nhs.scot.
The ARCP page has more information regarding portfolio requirements and links to the Scotland Deanery website.
Top tips:
- Get started early in each block (especially block 3 as the ARCP deadline is tight)
- Log all teaching/education events
- Upload anything that demonstrates your competence (letters/emails of thanks, certificates, screenshots, photos, teaching feedback)
- Link as you go – each SLE or piece of evidence needs to be linked to a curriculum outcome, do this throughout the year
- Don’t struggle in silence. Speak to your educational supervisor or the post-grad medical education team sooner rather than later, they’ll be happy to help.
- Something is better than nothing. Although ideally SLEs should be completed by consultants or registrars, it is better to have a portfolio full of middle grade/SHO feedback than none at all.
- Send reminders. Consultants are busy people, using the reminder button to prompt feedback is entirely appropriate, within reason.
FY1s will also be added to an FY1 MS Team where weekly teaching sessions are saved, and additional helpful information can be found.
