2.7 The Forms Menu
You can access the Forms section by clicking on the Forms menu header. You can access the various
electronic forms that are stored in your ePortfolio here.
When completing a form, you have unlimited time to complete the form as long as you are actively
typing. Once you stop typing, you will be logged out after 60 minutes (you will see a pop-up
message informing you of this). If at any point during the 60 minute window you resume typing the
60 minutes clock will be reset.
Depending on your Deanery you may have a different selection of menu items available. Let’s take a
look at what each menu item is used for:
2.7.1 Assessments (TAB)
This page is used to manage your Team Assessment of Behaviour (TAB).
TAB is a screening tool to help identify foundation doctors who may need additional help. It is used
early in your foundation training so steps can be taken to reduce the risk of any concerns about your
professional practice developing into chronic problems. However, in the great majority of cases, no
concerns are identified and TAB confirms good professional behaviour.
You will be told when in your training you are to complete the TAB assessment by your Foundation
School. You may have to complete more than one TAB in a year if your School requires this.
To start the TAB process you will have to begin by selecting the post that you wish to save the TAB
against. You do this using the Select a post drop down menu on the Assessments (TAB) page (circled
in pink below)
