Portfolio and continuing professional development
- BMJ Portfolio – useful for doctors who are not in training posts to develop an online log of reflections on clinical practice and learning. By adjusting the settings, you can tag every entry with one of the GMC Good Medical Practice Domains. We have prepared some additional tips on what should be in a portfolio for our REACHE North West members: see here. The University of Nottingham has some information on reflective writing.
- GMC Good Medical Practice – essential reading for every doctor and a resource to keep referring back to! Remember you have signed up to follow this code with your GMC registration. Look particularly at the 29 April 2014 update to the guidance that includes a section about knowledge of the English language. You will find guidance and statements contained within GMC Good Medical Practice that help guide you in challenging situations, including ethical dilemmas and and practising in a different cultural setting. Good Medical Practice in Action is a collection of interactive case studies: these can be a good learning resource and material for reflection and so don’t forget to add a reflective entry to your portfolio after you complete each case.
