Bradford Sandwich E-portfolio resources

Orientation sessions for Bradford Sandwich course

NHS England have organised orientation sessions for all users of the Bradford Sandwich E-portfolio. These sessions will provide an overview of how the E-portfolio directly supports the use of the NHS England Foundation Trainee Pharmacist Assessment Strategy, demonstrate key functions, outline the resources, and support available during the course of the year. The orientation sessions will also provide an opportunity for questions and answers.

To get the best out of the session, each orientation session will be tailored with the audience in mind, and you will be required to only attend one session from the dates below:

Assessment forms and video guides

We have developed a series of training videos and templates to help trainees and their designated supervisors collect evidence. Refer to E-portfolio and downloadable resources | NHS England | Workforce, training and education to explore these further.

Due to phased developments, the screen shots within the videos may appear slightly different to your current E-portfolio, but this does not fundamentally change the functionality or guidance. The videos and guidance will also include the former Health Education England logo. There also won’t be reference to the prescribing related activities within the videos.

Getting started

• Learning Needs Analysis (LNA) – For assessing learning needs to review the trainees perceived level of learning/competence to date and formulate a plan for the next period of training. Available is an LNA Guide to support the use of the LNA in the E-portfolio.
• Bradford Sandwich E-portfolio User Guide suitable for trainee pharmacists, Designated Supervisors, Designated Prescribing Practitioners and Educational Programme Directors/Educational Leads.
• Bradford Sandwich E-portfolio: Collaborator Guide suitable for collaborators, for example, Practice Supervisors.

A checklist and training plan template are available on this website: E-portfolio and downloadable resources | NHS England | Workforce, training and education.
