Mid Point & TPD Reviews Autumn 2011

You should all by now have completed your mid point review on METIS. THis can be done by either your educational supervisor or site tutor depending on which trust you are in.

TPD review appointments are currently being sent out for Dec - Feb. You MUST attend this appointment. If for any reason this just isn't possible please email stating the reasons, we will where possible allocate an alternative date.

Prior to the review please ensure that you have completed/uploaded all of your induction requirements, completed the educational supervisors report, have had WPBAs etc validated, started to populate the summary of evidence and basically made good progress with your portfolio.
