Worksheets
Print these or copy them into your own document. Every template appears in its chapter as a worked example; here they are blank and ready.
The join document
One row per evidence item; it grows a column at every later stage. This is the map the portal never gives you.

Feedback request letters
Send these in week one; they are the two longest waits.
Colleague version: I am compiling my ePortfolio for the supported route. Could you give me short written feedback on how I [specific event or area], what I did well, and one thing I could develop? Two or three honest sentences are perfect. Thank you. Patient / carer version: We would value your feedback on the care you received from [role, not name] on [approximate date]. A few sentences about what helped and what could be better would be greatly appreciated, and will be anonymised before use.
Redaction checklist
- Patient names, initials, NHS numbers and dates of birth removed.
- Any detail that could identify a patient removed or generalised.
- Colleagues' non-public data included only with permission.
- Staff names replaced with roles where the story needs them.
- GDPR and confidentiality statement completed.
Supervisor questions
Send these with your pillar plan.
- Here is my pillar plan with Core and Supporting roles. Which item would you most want me to swap, and why?
- Which two capabilities do you think my evidence supports least convincingly, so I can strengthen them before drafting?
- For my LNA preparation: CV, job description, certificates and confidence ratings are attached at least five working days ahead.
Peer reviewer invitation
I am submitting my ePortfolio via the supported route and would be grateful if you could peer review one piece of my evidence. The role is to confirm it relates to my own practice, is authentic and is current; you can defer anything you have queries about. It takes about twenty minutes. Conflicts of interest are declared on the portal. Thank you.
