Portfolio Pathway Training Day

Portfolio Pathway Training Day is organized by The Royal College of Ophthalmologists (RCOphth) and will be held on Nov 20, 2025 at York Medical Society, York, England, United Kingdom.

Overview:
The day will include workshops, presentations and Q&A sessions. The aims of the event are to:

• Provide applicants with a deeper understanding of the change of standards, from ‘equivalent to CCT’ to ‘Knowledge, Skills and Experience’
• Demonstrate ways to approach an application in the future and to ‘think outside the box’ as to how one may fulfil the curriculum’s key skills and personalise it in line with their own clinical experience and skill set
• Create a platform for delegates to raise any issues and concerns and to get direct support, advice and clarity from the senior advisors
• Hold various practical sessions to give applicants the opportunity to work with other doctors in the same position and to spark ideas, solutions and skills together
• Create a safe space for questions and answers, speaking openly about challenges and concerns, with direct support, advise and clarity from the senior advisors
• Leave the day with a strong idea of what the Portfolio Pathway is all about, the possible approaches that can be taken; and how to align the standards to their own clinical background, experience and skill-set
• The programme will include an overview of the Portfolio pathway process, guidance on what evidence to submit, tips from those who have submitted successful Portfolio pathway applications, a practical exercise discussing evidence from a real application, and a Q&A session.
