What is an ARCP?

ARCP: Annual Review of Competence Progression. Posts appointed on / after 1st Aug 2007

The ARCP is an e-portfolio based process, which examines the evidence contained within the Specialty Trainee’s (StR) portfolio. The StR is not usually present for the ARCP assessment, but we normally try to see each StR for a half hour following the formal assessment. This session is essentially an appraisal, to review the previous year’s achievements, and make plans for the forthcoming year.

The ARCP is organised by the Deanery, Karen.fishenden@southwest.nhs.uk
and usually takes place near the end of each year of training, usually in late May/June/early July.
2012 dates, May 15th All documents to be available on E Portfolio. Face to Face Assessments 22nd May and 12th June

There are minimum targets and standards from the Royal College of Radiologists specified in the 2010 curriculum, which are reproduced on the following pages of this menu. The main exception from the minimum standards is that we expect each StR to complete a minimum of two mini-IPX and two DOPs every three months during modular training. In practice it is anticipated that most StRs will complete more than two of each.
