Section 4 relates to the ARCP process and can be found on pages 44 - 72.
All ARCPs in EoE are commencing via MS Teams.
You won't be required to attend your ARCP in person, however, you will be notified closer to the date only if teleconference is to be arranged. If asked to join, please ensure you are in a location where you have a reliable connection and can have a confidential conversation. You will receive an email notification from one of the Assessment team 1-2 weeks prior to your ARCP. This will inform you if you are required to join the call.
At every ARCP you will need to submit the following:
- Updated Form R (Part B)
- Educational Supervisor Report
For specialty specific requirements, please contact your Educational Supervisor or Training Programme Director. Check College website for an ARCP decision aid or curriculum guidance.
Referrals to the the PSW can be made by either the clinical or educational supervisor, Training Programme Director (TPD) or Head of School (HoS).
You can also self-refer to PSW.

If an outcome 2, 3 or 4 has been recommended, you have the option to appeal this decision.
Further information can be found in the Gold Guide, section 4.158 - 4.183 Please also see information on our website.
If you are Out of Programme for research, experience or career break (OOPR, OOPE or OOPC) you will still have an ARCP. You will receive an Outcome 8. Your ARCP notification email will confirm what evidence you need to submit.
If you are on statutory leave, you will still have an ARCP. However, you will receive a 'Not Assessed' ARCP Outcome. This will confirm the reason that you have not been assessed so that we have consistent records throughout your training with us.
You will still be required to submit an up to date Form R (Part B).
Please remember to inform our Programmes team of any maternity leave dates or long term sickness dates so we can keep your records up to date: edit.eoe@hee.nhs.uk
