Intro<\/h3>
\n

ARCP stands for Annual Review of Competency Progression.  The ARCP panel  meets yearly to review how each trainee is progressing in terms of the 13 Professional Capabilties defined by the RCGP.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They do this by comprehensively reviewing their ePortfolio in a structured way.   It does not involve a face-to-face review of the trainee.   That is why maintaining the ePortfolio is important \u2013 a trainee is judged via their ePortfolio, and not face-to-face.   Their ePortfolio is what represents them. 

If a trainee is deemed to be doing well, they can then be signed off to go onto the next ST year (or be given their Certificated of Completion of Training \u2013 CCT \u2013 if they are in their final year).     For the ARCP panel to be able to sign the trainee off, on top of having the right number of Work-Place Based Assessments and log entries,  they have to have their Educational and Clinical Supervisor\u2019s reports uploaded. If an ARCP is deemed unsatisfactory, a trainee may be called by a central panel for a face-to-face review. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When Do They Happen?<\/h3>
\n

Basically, January and July of every year. So it\u2019s a bad time to book a holiday then \u2013 in case you are needed for a face-to-face review.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
