Annual Review of Competence Progression (ARCP) for LLP users

The ARCP is the formal process where training progress is reviewed, usually on an annual basis. This process should be used to collate and systematically review evidence about an anaesthetist in training’s performance and progress in a holistic way and make decisions about their achievement of expected outcomes and subsequent progression in training. 

Throughout training, anaesthetists should engage with the learning process by using the LLP to demonstrate that they are meeting the requirements of the curriculum. 

The evidence collected on the LLP includes: 

  • placements in programme 

  • examination outcomes 

  • milestones such as training certificates 

  • personal development plans 

  • logbook data 

  • evidence of supervisory meetings 

  • supervised learning events and other evidence for HALOs 

  • MSFs 

  • MTRs 

  • evidence of reflection. 

The ARCP panel will only be able to see your COMPLETED ESSRs during the ARCP. If your evidence is not linked to the ESSR, the panel will not count it towards your training and progress. 

You should have your ESSR completed TWO WEEKS before your ARCP date.
