ACCS - Teaching and e-Portfolio
Teaching
Within the Trust the ACCS Trainees attend the specialty teaching sessions provided by the departments alongside their Core Specialty colleagues. These programmes assist in developing skills in specialist areas whilst having the opportunity to form links with specialty colleagues.
Trainees are also invited to attend the Medical Grand Round and Audit sessions. In addition there is access to Leadership forums and Simulation teaching events.
e-Portfolio
Trainees are required to register with their parent College for the electronic e-Portfolio:
- Anaesthetics:

- Emergency Medicine:
- http://www.rcem.ac.uk/RCEM/Exams_Training/UK_Trainees/ePortfolio/RCEM/Exams_Training/UK_Trainees/ePortfolio.aspx
Trainees are required to keep their e-Portfolios up to date; this is regularly monitored by the Clinical Education Department and support provided as required. The portfolios are regularly assessed at the Local Faculty Group Meetings with trainees being provided rapid supportive feedback.
