You may have heard of colleagues within your deanery who have already received their log in details for the new 14 Fish platform.  Please don't panic if you have yet to hear anything, the migration is being done in batches, across all deaneries. 

No action is needed in the meantime, please carry on as you are and wait to hear from us. We have had an extremely high volume of emails to the eportfoliotransition@rcpsych.ac.uk inbox over the past week and so please try to find answers to any queries via our FAQ Page where possible. 

You may also find it useful to familiarise yourself with the new platform by watching the recorded Webinar linked below.

RCPsych is pleased to announce that, from Monday 28 September, the following formative assessment changes will be available on Portfolio Online for those who have not yet moved to the FourteenFish ePortfolio:

• Entrustability Scales (CS/ES End of Placement Forms)
• Embedding Formulation Skills throughout training
• Introduction of Caseload-Based Discussions (expansion of DONCS)

Patient and Carer Feedback will be introduced at a later stage and no later than February 2027.

Resident Doctors who did not have access during this time will not be disadvantaged, as the requirement is to complete one round of feedback during each of the CT and ST stages of training.   

Further information about these changes can be found on our website. If you have not already done so, please take a look at the pre-recorded webinar from Dr Indira Vinjamuri, Associate Dean for Curricula and Assessment, which provides an overview of the changes and their implementation.

If you have any queries regarding the changes, please contact psychiatrytraining@rcpsych.ac.uk.
