HEIW is seeking to procure an E-portfolio software for the Pharmacy department for use by foundation pharmacists (with potential application in other programmes should it be required) on behalf of NHS Wales for an estimated duration of three years (with the potential to extend over a further two years in line with providers ability to meet the required KPIs).
The e-portfolio shall provide an electronic solution which enables trainees to capture, store and submit evidence towards their workplace-based assessments and competencies. 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.
