A new post was created in Portsmouth. This produced the opportunity, for a new and innovative approach to the education and training module for the specialist registrar (SpR) training programme. The GP tutor with supervision from the university, designed, implemented and evaluated the module. It took place during the first five months of the SpR contract. The method used was a case study in which the SpR was encouraged to reflect on practice. The learning outcomes were documented initially by the GP tutor and,finally, by the SpR using a logbook based on the dental professional development log. Reflecting on practice enabled the SpR to produce the evidence of her own learning and plan her future learning needs. The project highlights the advantages and problems of reflecting on practice. These issues must be addressed if the conflict between the need to produce the competent doctor and the demands of an educationally sound programme are to be resolved, to create critical thinking and autonomous lifelong, self-directed learners.

PIP: This study concerned the efficacy of portfolio learning as a method to facilitate the Specialist Registrar (SpR) training program. A case study method, under the supervision of the university, was used for designing, implementing, and evaluating the module. The Portfolio was considered as a collection of evidence that learning had taken place. The first 5 months of the new module were demonstrated to be a positive SpR experience because self-written evidence of what had been achieved and plans for future learning were presented. However, an investment in time and resources will be needed to ensure that portfolio learning will not be relegated to another task to be "signed off." The study could be useful in future studies on how doctors in training learn and how medical teachers of the future will need to make their learning process easier.
