Changes to ARCP process effective June 2024:

• The Deanery have standardised the ARCP process across the Specialty Schools, and all ARCPs from June 2024 onwards will follow this process:
1. ARCP Assessment Panel:
• The panel will review the available evidence on your portfolio and issue the ARCP outcome.
• You do not attend the ARCP Assessment Panel as this is an evidence review only.
• If the panel issue a developmental outcome (2, 3, 4 or 5) you will be required to attend the ARCP Feedback Panel.
2. ARCP Feedback Panel:
• The panel will review the outcome issued at the ARCP Assessment Panel and confirm the learning objectives and timeline for these to be achieved.
• Information regarding the ARCP Assessment and Feedback Panel will be sent to you via the Specialty School administrator.

ICM Training Programme Requirement:

• Following the ARCP Assessment Panel, you will be invited to meet with ICM executive team to discuss the outcome and recommendations.

This is not part of the Deanery ARCP process, therefore, any communication regarding this meeting will be sent via your TPD or a representative from the ICM training programme.

• Please be aware that should you be issued with a developmental outcome, even if you have met with your ICM executive team following the ARCP Assessment Panel you will still be required to attend the ARCP Feedback Panel.

In a nutshell:

• ARCP Assessment Panel will look into your portfolio and decide an outcome which determines further steps:
1. Outcome 1 ⇒ you will be invited to a single meeting with the ICM executive team.
2. Developmental outcome (2, 3, 4 or 5) ⇒ you will have to attend 2 meetings:
1. 1st ⇒ With the ARCP Feedback Panel
2. 2nd ⇒ With the ICM executive team
