Trainee information
Please use the links below to find information about your ARCP requirements including explanations of SLEs, examples of summary narratives, and lots more hints and tips on how to complete your portfolio.
The information on these pages covers the requirements for F1 and F2 doctors who have an ARCP in 2025. It should be used in conjunction with the UKFPO ARCP checklist. The information on these pages serves to provide some clarity and explanation to the document.
The main requirements listed may not apply to Foundation doctors who have had a remedial outcome who will have had specific requirements set by the FPD/APGD. Please contact your FPD for advice if you are out of sync or have had a remedial outcome at the last ARCP.
Please provide your evidence in your completed portfolio by 31st May 2025 in order to give your FPD time to review your evidence before the ARCP which will be held in June/July.
The ARCP will be a desktop exercise, and you will not attend. You will receive a notification that your outcome will be issued on Turas after the ARCP. You should then log into your Turas Training Portfolio and acknowledge this. It is essential that you acknowledge your ARCP outcome 1 or 6 also allow your F1CC or FPCC certificate to be created and allow you to download.
If you receive a developmental outcome, you will be notified by your FPD and will be invited to a further meeting to discuss what actions are required. For the vast majority of you this will not be relevant.
The structure of the delivery of educational supervision is slightly different in each of the four UK nations and these pages will clarify some of the questions you may have.
The Foundation Curriculum
All Foundation doctors in Scotland follow the Foundation curriculum as detailed on the UKFPO website where you will find details about Supervised Learning Events (SLEs), the Placement Supervision Group (PSG) and your summary narrative.
For ARCP 2025 you will need:
If any of the reports are not satisfactory your FPD will make a decision at your ARCP.
The UKFPO guidance requires 3 CS reports but only 2 ES reports as the ES completes the end of year report instead of a 3rd report as it covers the entire year including post 3. In England the ES remains constant for the whole year hence the discrepancy and in Scotland Foundation doctors normally have 3 CS and 3 ES.
ARCP deadline to upload evidence is 31 May 2025.
