Learning Logs: What is a Supporting Document?

This new area, Support Documents/CPD, allows you to record and reflect on relevant pieces of evidence that you may have highlighted from your clinical reviews or PDP. It also allows you to provide evidence and share brief summative reflections of your CPD evidence of reading / reflections on learning events.

By separating this from the reflections on clinical work, we are supporting a degree of separation between WPBA and the appraisal functions of the GP Trainee Portfolio. Basic life support, Safeguarding Certification, Unscheduled / Out of Hours attendance should be appropriately recorded here.

Other learning such as eLearning, tutorials, courses/certificates, lectures and reading can appropriately be recorded in the CPD area. Trainees may want to note that entries which are purely documentation of reading or of doing an online course are not Workplace Based Learning Activities.
