Submitted evidence should be reviewed by Designated Supervisors who will be able to ‘approve’ pieces of evidence and linked learning outcomes in line with the foundation pharmacist programme curriculum. Trainees and DS should be able to see a ‘progression’ panel which shows the percentage to which LO’s on the curriculum have been met. HEIW Regional Leads also need the ability to review and comment within trainee e-portfolios.
