The ARCP process has been updated to address past challenges, particularly with a large cohort expected in March. Key changes include a strict timetable for communication, early warnings for assessors anticipating adverse outcomes, and more detailed role descriptions for educational supervisors and panel members. We emphasize reflective practice and structured feedback across all stages. While regular evidence uploads and revalidation statements remain unchanged, these improvements aim to enhance the robustness of outcomes and enhance user experience. Any suggestions or questions are welcome.

Updating the ARCP Process Mary Corcoran - with thanks to all those who helped with the update.
Why the update? • Process for last ARCP very clunky • Big cohort attending in March • Changes to Academic ARCPs • Revalidation requirements for StRs • Too many ‘surprises’ • Resilience BUT • Outcomes robust
Key changes 1 Strict timetable: • Emails to Panel members, StRs and educational supervisors at: • 12 months; 3 months; 1 month; 2 weeks (portfolio ‘lockdown’) • Early warning to TPD if assessors anticipate any adverse outcome – 1 week before ARCP • Feedback next day if adverse; within 1 week to all StRs
Key changes 2 • More detailed instructions/role descriptions for: • Educational supervisors • StRs • Panel member roles, incl. lay & external assessors • Feedback from Assessors (generic/anonymous) to Educational supervisors
Additional: Emphasis on reflection for each piece of work Feedback from ARCP Panel (anonymous, generic) Standard file structure to be developed Implications for Educational supervisors No change: • Upload evidence regularly • Revalidation statements required • In general, 2 pieces of evidence for a LO sign off
Implications for Assessors • More portfolios to review at a Panel • Structured feedback form for each portfolio reviewed • Feedback for Educational supervisors • Fast initial assessment for potential adverse outcomes (within 1 week) Still an excellent experience!
