iMAP Portfolio

The iMAP portfolio is a blank word document
that candidates must use as the template for their submission.
Once candidates have received formal
notification that their application has been accepted, they should
start to prepare the material for their portfolio as detailed 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 assemble, 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.
As stated in the iMAP Candidate Regulations,
the only attachments that will be accepted when submitting a
completed portfolio are the feedback from the patient
questionnaire (either CARE or SHEFFPAT) and from GP-SPRAT.
Once candidates complete the Portfolio
document it must be submitted by email to the iMAP office
(imap@rcgp.org.uk). Only electronic
portfolios will be accepted. Work submitted as part of the
portfolio should not be more than a year old on the date of
submission. The iMAP Team will confirm receipt of your
portfolio within 4 working days, if you do not hear from us within
this timeframe please contact the office.
When submitting your portfolio, please
ensure that you also post a cheque made payable to the RCGP for the
relevant fee to: RCGP iMAP Office, First Floor, 31 Southampton Row,
London, WC1B 5HJ. Please also print, sign and send the
Candidate Declaration (Appendix 3 in the Portfolio template).
Portfolios will not be sent for marking until these items are
received.
Candidates are reminded that all portfolio
submissions are scanned through Plagiarism detecting software.
