The ARCP Hub brings together all information, guidance and resources Public Health trainees in London need to prepare for their Annual Review of Competency Progression (ARCP).
This page explains what an ARCP is, what you need to submit, key deadlines and much more.
Key ARCP dates
— All required documents must be completed and uploaded to the ePortfolio by this date. — All ARCPs will be held in-absentia — trainees do not need to attend the panel. You must complete and upload the forms listed in the ARCP Evidence Checklist, which includes (where applicable): Only the forms linked in the checklist should be used. Using incorrect forms may result in an Outcome 5. No. Access to the ePortfolio ends in line with your training. You are strongly advised to download and save any evidence or work you may wish to use in the future. For further guidance please contact the FPH Helpdesk. If your role or activities change significantly from what was originally agreed, your learning agreement can be updated to better reflect your current work plan. This helps the ARCP panel understand how learning outcomes will be met. Any updated learning agreement must be re-signed by both the Educational Supervisor (ES) and the registrar (SpR). DOPS and WPAs are not required for ARCP. Activity Summary Sheets are sufficient. DOPS/WPAs may be used where helpful to support Learning Outcome (LO) sign-off. No. A meeting with the Training Programme Director (TPD) is not required unless specifically requested by either the registrar or the TPD. Evidence should relate to work undertaken during the Public Health training programme, not to roles held prior to entering training. This is at the discretion of the Educational Supervisor (ES) and depends on the activity. It is generally good practice to include a mix of evidence types. No. There is no mandatory form, and CBDs/DOPS are not required for ARCP. The format used is at the discretion of the Educational Supervisor (ES). They can be linked to an Activity Summary Sheet, but they may also be uploaded as standalone documents where they provide specific or additional evidence against learning outcomes. You will need to update the details on the Registrar’s Placement page. Once updated, the ARCP outcome form will refresh and update automatically.
