Eportfolios in the NHS
Did you know eportfolios can be used across the NHS?
They're not just for nurses. Eportfolios can be used to train and revalidate all roles in the NHS – from receptionists to consultants – and keep a record of competencies throughout their career.
At OneFile, our eportfolio is a national favourite, and is already used by 24 NHS trusts across the country. Why? Because it's efficient, easy to use and flexible, so it can be customised to suit all NHS staff.
How does it work and who is it for?
With OneFile, trainee staff can create an online portfolio of evidence to showcase their skills. They can take photos, videos or audio recordings of their competencies, anytime, anywhere, on any device. It means instead of having to write up lengthy notes during their shift, users can capture evidence quickly on the ward – giving them more time to spend with patients.
Their portfolio can also be accessed online by mentors and managers to monitor progress, assess assignments, send feedback and generate the reports they need.
OneFile can be used to manage and record the Care Certificate, apprenticeships, revalidation and professional development – basically all types of vocational training.
In fact, OneFile is ideal for training all roles in the NHS at all bands, such as:
- Healthcare assistants
- Ward clerks
- Receptionists
- Medical secretaries
- Biomedical scientists
- Theatre practitioners
- Clinical pharmacists
It's also perfect for managing and recording revalidation at all levels, including:
- Dental nurses
- Staff nurses
- Junior sisters
- Clinical psychologists
- Doctors
- Surgeons
OneFile also has a built-in CPD tracker, so staff can record their CPD activities and build a profile of their development throughout their career.
