The Irish Institute of Pharmacy has issued an update on the ePortfolio Review 2024/25
This year, approximately 1,400 pharmacists have been selected for ePortfolio Review. The Irish Institute of Pharmacy (IIOP) sent an email to those who have been selected in mid-October, with information about the process. A further reminder email was sent in early December.
If you are one of the selected pharmacists, the IIOP will send an email (to the email address registered on your IIOP profile) on Monday 6 January 2025, to notify you that you may now submit CPD Cycles from your ePortfolio for review. You will have until Sunday 26 January to submit your cycles. You may submit cycles at any stage during the three-week submission window, and you may make more than one submission, said the Institute.
Standards
The ePortfolio Review Support Page can be accessed via the IIOP homepage and is the main source of information relating to the 2024/25 ePortfolio Review. All the information that you require to navigate through the core stages of the Review can be found here, including information on timelines, the 2024/25 ePortfolio Review Standards, and guides on how to meet these Standards.
You may also wish to attend an Information Event. The IIOP hosted a series of Information Events to support selected pharmacists in autumn 2024. All events are facilitated by a Peer Support Pharmacist and specifically focus on the key requirements of the 2024/25 ePortfolio Review so that pharmacists will know exactly what to expect at each point in the process.
They felt more confident in participating in
the ePortfolio Review and had a clear understanding of what the standards were
Pharmacists who took part in previous ePortfolio Review processes consistently highlighted the IIOP Information Events as a key source of support in their preparation. They felt more confident in participating in ePortfolio Review and had a clear understanding of what the standards were and how to access support if needed, after attending an event.
Webinars
There are two information events (webinars) scheduled on 8 and 21 January 2025. You can book via the IIOP website, under the Courses & Events tab. There is also a recorded version of the webinar available to view in your own time in the ePortfolio support resources.
The IIOP team are always happy to hear from you with any queries you may have. Should you require any further support, please contact Áine Barrett, ePortfolio Review Project Lead at info@iiop.ie
Pharmacists must have their current, active email address registered on their IIOP profile in order to ensure they receive communications from the IIOP about the 2024/25 ePortfolio Review.
