Portfolio Assessment
The portfolio requires you to record
activities that you carry out during your working day, and then
reflect on and justify your actions.
You will find all the information necessary for
the Portfolio stage of iMAP below. This includes the
portfolio templates (which you will need to download
and populate with your work) and the Handbook (which
you must refer to when compiling your portfolio) as well as some
additional guidance.

summary of the differences between Portfolio and Modular iMAP
iMAP Handbook
The Handbook details the requirements for
each of the fifteen criteria, which are the same for both Portfolio
and Modular iMAP. It may be downloaded
here: iMAP
Handbook. Candidates must submit evidence for each
criterion as indicated in this document.
iMAP Templates
If you are undertaking Portfolio iMAP, click here for the
iMAP portfolio
template. If you are undertaking Modular iMAP, the
templates are below. The Guidance documents relate to both
formats of iMAP.
If you are undertaking Modular iMAP, you must
also complete and submit the candidate
context document when submitting your first criterion for
assessment.
Each criterion will be marked and
given a score according to these definitions of
scores. Where resubmissions are necessary, the assessors'
comments (within your marked portfolio) should offer guidance as to
how to fulfil the requirements of the criterion. Please remember
that it is important to have a strong portfolio to assist you at
the oral assessment stage.
Additional Guidance and Example Portfolio
iMAP assessors who facilitate study days have provided
some information on Planning and Getting
Started 
as well
as a short guide to Getting the Portfolio
Right 
along with additional advice on
each of the Portfolio criteria (above) to complement the
Handbook.
Please read the Submission
Requirements when you
are ready to submit your portfolio. Completed portfolios must be
submitted by email to imap@rcgp.org.uk. The iMAP Team will
confirm receipt of your portfolio within 3 working days, if you do
not hear from us within this timeframe please contact us.
An Example Portfolio is also provided
below. The aim of this is to provide candidates
with an idea of the acceptable standard for each criterion;
these examples are purely for illustration and should not be used
as the basis for a candidate's submission. Click here to
