The portfolio also allows you to record reflections of your learning as evidence and upload supporting documentation, such as the mandatory Peer Discussion Review forms.

Matthew Rogers, Head of Professional Development says of the iO’s CPD portfolio: “As soon as we were made aware of GOsC’s intention we wanted to ensure that our members were not disadvantaged by this decision.

“We are committed to providing an improved and easy-to-use system for our members that would easily support the reflection and recording of their CPD.

“Along with the familiar functionality of recording hours and mapping to the OPS, we are delighted to add a new function; the ability to upload supporting documents and evidence of reflection directly into the portfolio.

“Whether it’s notes, workbooks or your Peer Discussion Review forms – you can be safe in the knowledge that these will be securely stored in one easy to access place. No more worrying about having documentation spread across different places on your PC or in paper files.

“In addition, should you need to provide a CPD report, the new system will generate a  downloadable PDF for any specific period.”

This CPD portfolio is exclusively available to iO Members as a free benefit of their membership.

iO Members will be advised as soon as the portfolio is live, along with relevant instructions for access and use.
