Consultants' attitudes to the assessment of GP specialty trainees during hospital placements.
This study explored the views and experiences of a sample of hospital consultants using the RCGP e-portfolio, within the wider context of WPBA. Whilst the use of e-portfolios and WPBA in a hospital setting was broadly valued and accepted, issues of e-portfolio functionality often hindered the professional judgement of competencies. Issues relating to training in the use of the RCGP e-portfolio and the need for adequate protected time were identified, together with a reluctance to give negative formative feedback through this format.
