An introductory overview of the MB BS Phase 2 OpenCampus portfolio

The primary purpose of the portfolio is to underpin your formative development and provide and document feedback from your clinical tutors. In addition, it provides a format for you to document your progress and participation in the MB BS programme. Completion of the portfolio is your responsibility and a completed portfolio is a requirement for progression, and to enter the end of year summative assessments .Your tutor is responsible for completing your entries in a timely fashion, with your assistance, and you should expect honest feedback that can be used to help your development.

This help page is a practical guide and should be read in conjunction with the phase 2 handbook (available on Blackboard).

Guidance on forms to complete for the portfolio and how to complete them (from the OpenCampus portfolio in a web browser or from the OpenCampus app).

To complete forms, you will need to know how to access you portfolio from a web browser and also how to access the OpenCampus app. Some forms will be completed on the app, some will be completed on the browser.

Access your portfolio through a web browser

Click on the OpenCampus menu tab in the top left-hand corner.
Click on the portfolio tab that will appear underneath.
You will now see your portfolio homepage.
Under each placement tab you will see a list of relevant forms.

The clinical placement review form is to be signed off on OpenCampus by your educational supervisor at the end of each block (one per block), during the clinical placement review meeting with you. You will receive an OpenCampus generated email reminding you to read the completed form and advise the programme delivery team of any queries you have.

Your clinical placement review form is populated with the number of case based discussions, reflections, clerkings, and OSLER forms submitted, and links to relevant forms.

Forms to be completed from the OpenCampus app

Case based discussions
Clinical supervisor feedback

Case based discussions

You will enter the case description details into the CBD form using the app and pass your phone/ iPad to your assessor .You will discuss the case and your assessor will provide grades to questions from drop-down menus, and feedback. They will also provide their name, NHS email address and signature. They will then submit the form. These forms will appear online in your OpenCampus portfolio.

Your clinical placement review form is then populated with the number of CBDs submitted and links to the submitted forms.

Please view the OpenCampus; completing clin skills help page. The process for submitting a portfolio form from the app is very similar to the process for submitting a clinical skills form from the app, except that the form will appear in your portfolio rather than your dashboard, once sent from the app.

Clinical supervisor feedback

Clinical supervisor feedback forms facilitate ‘opportunistic’ feedback ‘at the time’ (on any observed clinical activity) from clinical supervisors in secondary care, using the OpenCampus app. This activity and feedback can then be reviewed by yourself and your educational supervisor.
You will pass your iPad / mobile to your reviewer who will complete details of what was observed and provide feedback. LIC students will need to enter the block name.
Your reviewer will complete their name, job role, email address and signature. They will then submit the form. These forms will appear online in your OpenCampus portfolio. Your reviewer will receive a confirmation email stating that they have provided feedback.
