Maintain your ePPDportfolio

Purpose :

• Develop reflection and critical thinking
• Record progress in independent learning
• Evidence of understanding sound professional judgements
• Prepare you for Foundation Years

Your ePPDportfolio uses GMC’s Good Medical Practice headings, so you position entries as in Foundation Doctors’ portfolios, but you can also add your own tags. Each section and subsection has guidance helping you as you go along. You can reflect further on your entries using comment boxes, highlight items to discuss with your TPPD or Academic Advisor or flag them if want to add more information. Your TPPD or Advisor can comment and feedback directly into the ePPDportfolio.
