Supporting training

Our clinicians and staff ensure the quality and rigorousness of every exam and assessment for trainee paediatricians. From question writing groups, where new questions and scenarios are generated, right through to the Standard Setting Angoff process where exam questions are reviewed and judged one final time after the exam.

RCPCH ePortfolio (on the Kaizen platform) is the online learning tool for you and your trainees to review activities and monitor progress throughout the curriculum.
