As Foundation Doctor, you will be provided with a Horus account at the start of your FY1 year and will continue to use this until the end of your training as a Foundation Doctor. All Foundation Doctors are required to use an electronic portfolio (e-portfolio) during their foundation training. 

Annual Review of Competency Progression (ARCP) is the means by which doctors in postgraduate training are reviewed each year to ensure they are offering safe, quality patient care, and to assess their progression against standards set down in the curriculum for their training programme. It is also the means by which their full scope of work review is undertaken to satisfy revalidation requirements.
