The Challenges

The Portfolio Pathway is not the problem. Preparing alone is.

Three things quietly cost trainees an entire application cycle. Our programme is built around them.

Evidence and appraisal paperwork spread across a doctor's desk
Evidence

Years of scattered evidence.

Rotations, appraisals, audits, teaching — all in different folders, formats and drives.

Process

A process built for insiders.

IMGs and SAS doctors face a system with unwritten expectations and no visible mentor.

GMC specialty curriculum open on a desk with reading glasses
Mapping

Curriculum mapping is unforgiving.

A single missed CiP or misaligned domain can send a full application back to square one.

Why it works

The people who mark your application are the ones who prepare you.

Every faculty member has achieved specialist registration via the Portfolio Pathway and sits on a Royal College Portfolio Assessment Group.
