Using the ISCP website
The ISCP website is divided up into two separate areas: the public area and a password controlled members’ area. Anyone can browse around the public part of the website which includes the overview of the curriculum and the specialty syllabuses. In order to use the members’ area you will first have to register.
If you are a Trainee using the curriculum, you need to register in order to set up your Levels and Placements and to be validated by your Training Programme Director. You can then start to record information about your training and build an electronic portfolio, including uploading a Learning Agreement and Workplace Based Assessments. Your electronic Portfolio is likely be used as the basis of your Annual Review of Competence Progression (ARCP) where you will be assessed for suitability for progression. Lack of an adequate online Portfolio for some trainees may impact on this progression.
If you are a Consultant, senior trainee and other professional who will be training, assessing or supervising trainees you need to register so that you can use the electronic forms which support the supervision and assessment of trainees.
How to get help
There is help available on the site both in the form of Step-by-Step Guides once logged in which can be downloaded and/or printed as well as snippets of help in pages where something may require more explanation than there is room for on the page. You can access this help wherever you see the [HELP] icon. Clicking this will open up a new page with its respective guidance.
Additionally, if you require more help, the ISCP helpdesk is always happy to answer any questions that you may have.
Getting around the website
Most of the site is accessible via the menu on the left of the screen. Occassionally where a section of the site contains a lot of information there will be a series of further links within the main page. All links on the site are highlighted like this.
If you are registered and have logged on, you will also notice an additional menu below the public menu which will give you access to your secure area.
