iMAP Handbook
Click here to download the iMAP Handbook
The iMAP handbook is designed to provide
candidates with details of the requirements and guidelines for each
of the 19 criteria for iMAP.
Candidates are advised to refer to the
handbook and use it as a guide while completing their portfolio.
Candidates should submit evidence for all criteria as indicated in
the Handbook.
It would be advisable to study the iMAP
Criteria carefully and decide on an order for collecting and
preparing the material. Evidence for meeting some criteria will be
relatively straightforward and simple to compile, whereas others
will require much more preparation and take longer to bring
together. Ideally, candidates should structure and timetable the
process so that the separate elements are appropriately
covered.
Should you have any queries regarding the iMAP
Handbook or any of the criteria please contact the iMAP team by
email: imap@rcgp.org.uk.
Criteria 12 – Communication Skills (patients) and 14 – Teamwork
in Primary Care.
An organisation that had been
offering services for providing feedback reports for these
criteria, HcAT, ceased operations on 31 August 2009.
The new provider of these tools is called WASP Software
Limited. Details of how to register with WASP for these assessments
can be found on the FAQS for Criteria 12 & 14 page.
As a result of these changes, the iMAP handbook has been updated
to offer guidance on using the services of WASP.
Any expenses or fees incurred are the responsibility of the
candidate and are not covered by the iMAP fees.
Please use only the provider whose
details have been provided by the iMAP office.
