You will still be able to document your CPD activities and keep track of your points in the new ePortfolio. The new CPD diary will stop following rolling five-year cycles and will not ‘lock’ itself at any point.
Please be aware that the new ePortfolio will not generate certificates for annual appraisals. If you need CPD certificates to meet your local appraisal requirements, you should start exploring alternatives. Check whether your employer’s local appraisal and revalidation policies require use of a specific recording tool.
When using INSPIRE, you can record when some learning has been undertaken in a particular course, and this will then appear in your INSPIRE CPD log. You can download this and add it to your trust appraisal portfolio.
