Figure 1
Advisory committees, their function and the periods over which they met.
Each of these committees had two to four representatives from each key stakeholder group including GP trainees, clinical supervisors (GP trainers), college faculty, and external expert educational advisors. College faculty included programme directors, the Chair of Examiners and the National Lead on Assessment. The latter two were at every advisory committee, with different individuals representing their groups otherwise. The advisory committees held five to eight meetings each.

Figure 3
The trainee dashboard of accumulated WBA entries per EPA.
Example of accumulated supervision levels of a (fictional) trainee over 1 year. The length of each spoke related to the number of observations in that EPA, with colour coding of the supervision level judgements; yellow – needs high supervision, green – needs moderate supervision, light blue – needs low supervision, dark blue – ready for independent practice, purple – exceptional.
Underneath the graph is an example of the recorded narrative feedback from EPA 11. The ability to drill down into the narrative feedback exists for each EPA.

ICGP EPA uptake 6 months post commencement.
Uptake of ICGP EPA in first six months of full implementation. This figure demonstrates activity in the form of percentage of trainees in each training year (intake 2021, 2022 and 2023) who are actively using the software, and in the lower graph the average number of entries per year.
