The 2016 e-Portfolio was decommissioned on 31 July 2024 (extended deadline). The new, off-the-shelf platform, which launched on 1 August 2024, is technically unable to support the CPD diary in the same manner.
The new ePortfolio will emphasise the recent shift from counting points to self-evaluation and the quality of reflective notes. You will still be able to document your CPD activities and keep track of your points. However, the new CPD diary will no longer follow rolling five-year cycles. In addition, it will not ‘lock’ itself at any point.
Further information regarding how to document CPD activities in the new system will be cascaded by the end of August 2024.
Please be aware that the new ePortfolio will not generate certificates for annual appraisals. If you need CPD certificates to meet your local appraisal requirements, you should exploring alternatives. Check whether your employer’s local appraisal and revalidation policies require use of a specific recording tool.
Learning undertaken in a particular course when using our INSPIRE platform will appear in your INSPIRE CPD log. You can download this and add it to your trust appraisal portfolio.
