• The ARCP is the formal process by which a GP StR’s progression through training is reviewed and assessed. 
  • The ARCP panel of assessors confirms progress in each of the specialty training years and approves progress from one year to another.
  • The final ARCP panel at the end of training will make a recommendation for the award of a Certificate of Completion of Training. This recommendation will be based upon evidence that the GP StR has covered the GP curriculum, including satisfactory workplace based assessments, the completion of all components of the new MRCGP exam and reports submitted by both their Educational and Clinical Supervisors.
  •  The Panel Chair -usually one of TPDs will sign off the ARCP form for approval by the RCGP. 
  • The panel will usually consist of a TPD ,a GP Trainer , a deanery APD ; a lay representative and the scheme administrator.
  • ARCP panels are held locally in Harrogate usually in the first two  weeks of June .as so mainy STs are "out of synch" central deanery panels are held almost every month
  • In cases where either the local panel cannot reach a decision or consider the ePortfolio to be unsatisfactory, the GP StR will be referred to the central Deanery panel. The Deanery panel will make a progress recommendation and meet the trainee to inform them of the decision.
  • we recmmend that trainers and ES attend on a rota basis as this will aid undestanding of the whole process and help their own trainees.
