Video Instruction on Eportfolio for Trainees
Wales have developed a video version (with sound) of the RCGP Guidance for Trainees for using the Eportfolio. This short video lasting 32 minutes is based totally on the RCGP documentation, and using the sub-headings one can navigate from chapter to chapter.

e-learning for General Practice

The Royal College of General Practitioners is working in collaboration with
e-Learning for Healthcare to develop e-GP: e-Learning for General Practice, an innovative educational resource to support GP Specialty Training and to assist all GPs with Continuing Professional Development.
Available from late 2008, the e-GP: e-Learning for General Practice website will offer an online educational programme that facilitates a blended approach to learning; that can be accessed anywhere, anytime, and followed at the learner’s own pace.
Over the next two years, the project will develop a comprehensive
programme of interactive modules and ‘virtual consultations’ based on the
RCGP curriculum.
