This portfolio has been developed using many sources. It is based upon A Curriculum for UK Dental Foundation Programme Training commissioned by COPDEND and funded by the Department of Health in England. A substantial part of the Portfolio was developed by CVT Wales under the direction of the Postgraduate Dental Dean, Mr Eric Nash. The work on VT Competencies was done by Mike Milne, VT Adviser in the North West Deanery. The LEP Skills assessment was developed by the Mersey Deanery and is based on that developed in Scotland; the secondary care section is based on work done in the Welsh Deanery by Mr Eric Nash, the Postgraduate Dental Dean, and his team and in Mersey by Dr Collette Balmer with the support of the Postgraduate Dental Dean, Dr Brian Grieveson. Andrew North and Lee Worthington, VT Advisers in South Yorkshire / East Midlands, have reviewed some sections and mapped the various documents available on vocational training. Lee Worthington contributed the audit templates. Professor Farida Fortune, Chair of the Education Committee, Dental Faculty, Royal College of Surgeons England, provided the requirements for the new MJDS exam

stage. Also it should be looked upon as your portfolio of professional activity, which you will keep for a lifetime. It is essential then, that you keep the clinical activity in your log diary, and your educational activity record of appraisals accurate and up-to-date. There are many good reasons for this: You and your educational supervisor will be able to assess your progress and set educational objectives You will be able to identify gaps in your knowledge and clinical skills, and your strengths will be recognised and weaknesses rectified You will get into the habit of recording your experience; this will be a requirement for being appointed to further training programs and is a requirement of the GDC to stay on the Register (see below) It will be an aide-memoire for preparing your CV Your Deanery will be better able to evaluate the training post you hold for the training it provides. The Portfolio is based on the Competency Framework for the UK Dental Foundation Training Program. All Dentists in General Professional Training should be familiar with this curriculum of competencies. You should focus on attaining evidence in your portfolio that clearly demonstrates that you have achieved these competencies. This portfolio should be used in conjunction with the Competency framework for UK Dental Foundation Programs document While a Portfolio is a record of progression it should also be used to drive and develop good practice a learning portfolio. It will provide a structure from which to develop meetings with educational and clinical supervisors, to develop the habits of reflective learning and to help you manage the process of presenting the evidence of your competence at the end of the General Professional Training program. You have a responsibility to demonstrate that you are not only fit to practice but that you maintain your fitness to practice through continuing professional development. This portfolio will help you do that over the period of your General Professional Training.
Notes: Dental Foundation Training (DFT) has replaced the term GPT throughout the portfolio. The assessment process has been called the Dental Foundation Annual Review of Progress (DFARP) instead of the term RITA previously used in SpR training.

Until December 2006, SHO posts were approved for training by the Royal Colleges. A new process for Quality Assurance of education and training will be developed by the SDEB during 2007/8. Deaneries will be using Appraisal and Assessment to monitor SHO progress within the Deanery. All SHOs should be familiar with the GDC document Maintaining Standards and Lifelong Learning (www.gdc-uk.org). There is also the impact of Clinical Governance, the cornerstones of which are audit of clinical activity and an ethos of good clinical care, combined with maintaining and improving standards of care. The purpose of this portfolio is to help keep a record of the key events which will take place during the SHO (DF2) contract. The aim is to bring together within one folder all the necessary documentation to allow appraisal and assessment to take place, and to facilitate the development of a personal development plan, which can be taken forward into the next post. Please start using the portfolio immediately, as it is not just part of the education training and assessment process, but also a reflection of personal progress and development. The portfolio is partly based on the Curriculum for the Foundation Years in Postgraduate medical education and training (www.mmc.nhs.uk). All doctors in a Foundation Programme must be familiar with the curriculum and the core competencies must be achieved. This is very similar for Dental SHOs who are the equivalent to an F2 doctor in training. They must also be familiar with the New Doctor-Transitional Edition 2005 (GMC 2005), and fully understand Good Medical Practice (GMC 2001). Both the Curriculum and the Portfolio are based on this, the headings of which are: Good clinical care Maintaining good practice Partnership with patients Working with colleagues and with teams Assuring and improving the quality of care Teaching and training Probity and health
While a Portfolio is a record of the progression it should also be used to drive and develop good practice a learning portfolio. It will facilitate the meetings between trainees and trainers and should help with personal reflection and self-evaluation. The Portfolio will also help organise your training and importantly your career progression backed by appropriate advice. The Portfolio also assists with the assessment process the details of which are laid out in the section on assessment. After assessment, at each stage, and after suitable reflection by both trainee and trainer a personal development plan can be agreed. The Portfolio is important and is your responsibility as a trainee to ensure that it is used and completed appropriately and effectively The overall focus of the Portfolio is to assist and document your progress through a programme which has been laid out in the curriculum leading to the acquisition of the core competencies which must be acquired before progression to specialist training. Good luck with your educational programme and enjoy your training. Important Information Postgraduate Deanery Departments of Postgraduate Dental Education have a responsibility to ensure that all necessary educational processes take place during your DF2 year. In order to do this efficiently we require you to do the following: 1. 2. Complete and return the core information form provided as soon as possible after commencement of your post. Following your meetings with your education supervisors, ensure the appropriate forms are completed and signed, and send a photocopy to the Associate Postgraduate Dental Dean, or appropriate administrator, for your Deanery record. If you have applied for study leave please ensure that the Deanery receives a photocopy of the completed form.
3.
This is all an essential part of the assessment (DFARP1) process, so we would be grateful for your co-operation.
Induction Meeting
The purpose of this form is to record the first 3 stages of the Learning and Appraisal Cycle by producing a sequence of recorded interviews between and SHO and the training supervisor. The opinions expressed should reflect those of the medical and dental staff with whom the SHO has trained and the views of other Professional colleagues in order to ensure that the evaluation of the performance of the trainee is broadly based and multidisciplinary. The stages are: 1) An induction meeting, to make an educational contract with the SHO which determines the educational objectives of the trainee and the post and how these will be met. 2) A mid-point review, to assess the progress of the trainee and the training. 3) An exit assessment at the end of the post, to evaluate SHO performance and whether the educational objectives have been achieved. The final stage of the process is the drawing up of a Personal Development Plan by the SHO and trainer(s). This will provide the basis for the Induction Meeting in the next post. At the end of the 12 month training period this documentation will provide the evidence for the award of an appropriate DFARP grade by an external assessor.

Your log diary, together with the record of verifiable CPD, is perhaps the most important of the records to be kept. Every significant clinical activity should be recorded and authenticated by your educational supervisor. It does not matter what form the log takes, but a suggested version is available for you to photocopy at the end of this portfolio.

This self-evaluation tool, based on the principles described by the GDC in Good Medical Practice, is designed to assess your feelings of competence when performing the tasks of a Dental SHO (F2 equivalent) Programme Trainee. The information given will help to identify your strengths as a Dentist and will assist yourself and your Educational/Clinical Supervisor to agree personal learning needs. This self-evaluation tool will be treated as confidential and will not be part of the formative assessment of your competence. The non-confidential personal development plans will be based on the self-evaluation tool to enable the planning of learning objectives. It is essential for your own development that the statements in this form are responded to with honesty representing your feelings of competence of the tasks at this time. Instruction for completion of the Self-Evaluation Tool: Please print your name clearly and enter your GDC number in the space provided. Read the scoring system carefully. For each statement, tick the score that most reflects your feelings of competence. If tasks are not performed or if you have not been called upon to perform a particular task tick not done. The completed document should be handed to your Educational/Clinical Supervisor prior to the Review Meeting.

Dental Foundation Training Program DF2 (SHO equivalent) Personal Development Plan
The Personal Development Plan is designed to help you describe what you aim to achieve in each placement or possibly in the entire year. It should be the product of discussion with your supervisor and should be updated as often as is necessary, accepting of course that you should be able to refer back to the goals that you set yourself at the beginning. The template provided in the Portfolio is a good example to start with, but if in agreement with your educational supervisor you want to develop or adapt the form, then you are encouraged to do so. What is the learning need? The General Professional Training Program Curriculum covers a very wide range or core skills, both clinical and non-clinical. Everyone will have his or her own strong and weak points and it is important to begin to identify what you should focus on. Learning needs will also vary as you develop through the Training Program and your experience builds and consequently your PDP should be updated as you make progress. Similarly, although broad in nature, different competencies in curriculum may be more pertinent in different placements. As you consider the opportunities available to you in each placement, you should plan how you intend to make the most of them. How was this identified? As you progress in the General Professional Training Program, self-evaluation, reflective practice, multi source feedback and direct assessment will all provide different perspectives on your performance and development. It is important when setting your learning needs to be aware of what you are considering and that you are not missing important feedback that may be available to you. For example, if all your learning needs originate from one feedback source, it may be worth re-examining what other information is available to you. How will this be addressed and by when? This should identify what you intend to do during the year or placement, how you will develop your learning and, most importantly, how you will be assessed. While reflective practice is extremely important, the development in the portfolio of a series of assessments that shows development against the curriculum and progression towards competence is one of the key goals of the program. Setting yourself a target is always a good way to ensure progress. Discuss and agree realistic and achievable targets for making progress with your educational/clinical supervisor and record them here. Date completed? If you want to use the PDP forms as evidence in the assessment section of the portfolio, signature blocks have been included for your educational/clinical supervisor to sign off the fact that you have set yourself goals and seen them through. How you present your evidence of competence is up to you, but your clinical/educational supervisors should be able to help you.

Appraisal guidance http://www.dh.gov.uk/PolicyAndGuidance/HumanResourcesAndTraining/LearningAn dPersonalDevelopment/Appraisals/fs/en Appraisal content: Appraisal is based on the GMCs document Good Medical Practice (General Medical Council, 2001), which describes the principles of good medical practice, and standards of competence, care and conduct expected of doctors in all aspects of their professional work. These are:
Good clinical care Maintaining good medical practice Teaching and training Relationships with patients Working with colleagues Probity Health
The process should embody a positive and developmental approach, be fair, effective and well-informed, and where possible indicate how patient care and working within NHS organisations can be improved. Appraisal should include data on: o clinical performance, o training and education, o audit, o concerns raised and serious clinical complaints, o application of relevant clinical guidelines, o relationships with patients and colleagues, teaching and research activities, o personal and organisational effectiveness. The appraiser should have a good understanding of the work carried out by the dentist/doctor being appraised. If a dentist/doctor has specialist aspects of performance, the appraiser should be acquainted with the relevant areas.

Assessment tools
The Dental Foundation Program Curriculum sets out the requirement to use a series of assessment tools. There will be some variation as to exactly which tools will be used on your DFT or Foundation scheme, but copies of the forms for use on your scheme will be provided with your portfolio. A summary of the tools and how they are to be used is set out below:
A. Multi-Source Feedback (MSF) 1 for each 6 month post Mini-PAT: Peer Assessment Tool or TAB: Team Assessment of Behaviour
Evaluation of an observed clinical encounter with developmental feedback provided immediately after the encounter
Between 4 and 6 observed encounters is suggested for each post/placement.

3. Trusts, Specialty Training and Education Committees (STECs), consultants, specialty tutors, scheme organisers, postgraduate clinical tutors etc will take the necessary steps to rectify the more minor weaknesses and deficits identified in posts which have room for improvement. 4. The Deanery must be informed of and be involved in discussions about posts which are considered poor. If it is not possible to rectify problems within poor posts, the posts will not be recognised for future training placement.
