Overview
Course summary
This IBMS Registration Portfolio Workshop is for trainees, training officers and laboratory professionals who are supporting trainees in achieving the Certificate of Competence.
About the IBMS Registration Portfolio
In today's healthcare setting a professional portfolio is often a standard requirement. Completing the portfolio is a collaborative process between the trainee and the laboratory training officer, whose responsibility it is to ensure that the delivery of training, assessment of competence, and verification of knowledge and skill against each individual standard is signed off. The registration portfolio is evidence that an applicant has completed the practical training needed for the Certificate of Competence, a required element when applying for Health and Care Professions Council (HPC) registration.
Course structure
The workshop has been tailored to enhance your understanding of the IBMS Registration Portfolio requirements, from the perspectives of both the trainee and the trainer. It will help you recognise and select appropriate evidence for inclusion, offer constructive feedback to students who are completing a portfolio and provide greater insight into the verification process and follow-up for IBMS membership and HPC registration.
On the day
You will have access to a selection of resources on our virtual learning environment. At specified times there will be live broadcast sessions on the IBMS Registration Training Portfolio and good practice for evidence requirements. We will then undertake group activities and live discussions from both training officer and trainee viewpoints on preparation for the final verification. This will also include discussion on virtual verifications.
The workshop has been designed to create an open platform for debate, discussion and questions throughout the group sessions. Through collaborative discussions you will have the opportunity to share good practice with your peers.
