• All recommendations were accepted by the Rural Education Committee on 27th July 2011
• The main recommendations involved streamlining the administration, updating learning materials and assessment processes and conducting regular reviews and evaluations

Review of portfolio
The paper based portfolio has been problematic• Wedded to the process from historical background• Lack of consistency of presentation of portfolio• Difficult to assess the degree of learning/engagement• Variable quality of documentation• Difficulty assessing and comparing portfolios (Censor)• Loss of portfolio in recent weather events - cyclone and
floods• GPs don't like doing it

Portfolio learning
“The evidence base is extensive, but contains few high quality studies with generalisable messages about the effectiveness of portfolios.”1
“……..good evidence that if well implemented, portfolios are effective and practical in a number of ways including increasing personal responsibility for learning and supporting professional development.”1
