I am now getting familiar with fourteen fish and finding it user friendly. The one exception however is the ease with which PDP items can be entered by the trainee to create a timely PDP and then complete it ready for the next review. This seems to be confusing trainers and trainees in equal measure.

Our reply: Thanks for your feedback. Sorry about to hear about the PDP. We are conscious it isn't as good as we would like it and are actively working to improve it soon.

I used Fourteen Fish to assist me in doing a Patient Survey. I now work almost exclusively by phone and was pleased to be able to send texts to patients immediately after the consultation. Not surprisingly the % reply rate was low but the system worked excellently.

Honestly, I can't believe it, it's amazing! I have just changed from a region where I was obliged to use the MAG. So had nothing but that for years, but always loathed it. The world is transformed. (It's so obvious it's GPs who design and run it - no one else would get it so right. Haven't found anything to criticise yet at all!!!) It does everything I'd want or wish for before I've even realised! (In the unlikely event I find something I'd like different, I'll let you know!)

I think I’m in awe of rca tool . Despite being a dyslexic I am easily able to manoeuvre through the rca tool. I highly recommend all the trainees to use this tool for recording consultations. If another form / template could be added for tutorials / teachings HDR/ FDRs With a link to attach to PDPs or to clinical reviews as a proof of addressing DENs

Unable to upload documents. Quite a frustrating experience.

Our reply: Hi Maryam. Really sorry to hear that as you certainly can upload documents either through the app or on the website. Please can you reach out to us on support if you are still having an issue with this and we will make sure its sorted for you.

So far I am LOVING using fourteen fish. I am preparing for my first appraisal(1 year delayed due to covid) and I am so impressed with the ease of filling it out. Everything is outlined and the interface ie very user freindly. It also doesn't allow you to send your work to your appraiser until every box is ticked and most helpfully gives you the list of things yet to do with a link stiaght to that page. Could not be any happier with it!

On usual full timer needs to have min3 action plans and min.2 PDPs however, as LTFT per rotation we have two ESR and double action plans and double PDPs. I feel that the system favours the full timer.

This is one of the best resources I have seen re RCA preparation as it has specific and detailed learning re how to consult well, example videos, community questions answered by a very senior medical educator, and a menu of educational videos about clinical topics. I think all GPST2-3 trainees should have access to this package.

(GP)

There are few things which needs improvement. Like survey - trainee should have access tor resend MSF and patient satisfaction questions. As sometimes accessor ask if you could send again.

(GP Trainee)   

5 out of 5

Yes I am. The content of the Education Library section has really been helpful in impacting essential knowledge concerning GP practice, how to maneuver ones way without difficulty. Increased knowledge make significant impact on time management, identifying differential diagnosis and red-flags during consultation.

Way easier than Clarity. Some of the navigation is not intuitive, but just a question of familiarity.

Really impressive response from Jo Rees and the web team - correcting mistakes, moving log entries to the correct review periods, fixing bugs and generally making my life a lot less stressful as a trainer. Thank you

It’s so so good! Easy to use! I am now adding reflections weekly. I love being able to select my own curriculum and competencies as I can keep a track on coverage rather than waiting for ESR. It makes ESR form easier to fill to reflections more focused.

Easily accessible, and guides you through competencies. Very user friendly and easy to engage with.

Yes, I think the layout works much better and ESR Preparation is easier as copies entries from logs. Also I like that there is an App that can directly upload video consultations to Fourteen Fish.

My main concern is that when I submit -etickets to my colleagues for example for an assessment or feedback the title of the email is 'Fourteen Fish'. Many have ignored this ticket, labelling it as spam or thinking it was from a dating website. Otherwise, the portfolio seems to be working well to me.

Much more intuitive than the Royal College portfolio and more user friendly as well as allowing to be more time efficient. It’s a vast improvement!

This is a fantastic platform! It's very well thought out, user-friendly and provides all the necessary prompts to complete the appraisal process. I find I actually enjoy adding information and uploading CPD, and it has helped me to appreciate the importance of appraisal rather than considering it a big inconvenience. The changes made to the template during the time of Covid have been very good. If you ask for help it is provided quickly and efficiently. Well done FourteenFish.

It would be good as on the previous Eportfolio to be able to send the learning needs at the end of a clinical case review to a PDP in order to use these appropriately

(GP)   

5 out of 5

Overall, I think Fourteen Fish is an excellent resource. For eportfolio, it's relatively intuitive and makes linking to competencies very easy. I also like the small visualisation of which patient groups and competencies you have portfolio entries for. Also the AKT preparation material is a very good basis

(GP)

Finally switched to fourteen fish after becoming an appraiser and realised just how easy it is to record CPD/ QIA and reflect as you are going along. Brilliant. Got all our nurses switched onto it too!!

very easy to navigate and saves everything. However, the document limit of attachments is quite small: I was unable to send any evidence to my appraiser although the attachments are there for the day I suppose.

Having used the AKT package and enjoyed the library modules, I returned to use the CSA package this year. It was helpful to see a range of different consultations demonstrated in this package, particularly those with the traffic lights and examiner feedback, to focus in on what the consultation achieved but also what else could be done. As commented before, I found the range of topical updates and clinical library helpful for CSA prep, as not only do they revise the conditions but they also cover the most up-to-date guidance. I think to make this package even better, it would be good to add more CSA-style consultation videos on a greater range of conditions. Furthermore, having some CSA-focused examination videos would be good i.e. showing what can be achieved in 1-2 minutes, for example. Thanks to all the FourteenFish team for this helpful revision package :)

(GP / Appraiser)

I like the new look: less cluttered, more focused. Well done!

(GP)

The CSA toolkit was a major reason for me to do very well in my CSA exams. Changing my consultation style, especially getting psychosocial history, after watching Dr Coombe's Video made a huge difference to my approach and I was able to get so much out from the patient's during the exam without much effort. The library videos were useful revision for both AKT and CSA. The question style in mock AKT were very helpful during the exams. Overall I would strongly recommend FourteenFish to anyone taking AKT exams and especially before starting CSA preparation as it changes your approach to exams.

(Locum GP)   

4 out of 5

My honest review of the AKT package is as follows - There are some key topics explored here, the majority of lectures are presented effectively, logically and organised to really promote good learning. Others could arguably be too long and may benefit from being streamlined. The community aspect, especially Mark Coombe's involvement is excellent - he exhibits clear signs of an excellent teacher - enthusiastic, encouraging and knowledgeable, not just with clinical medicine, but with exam techniques and information regarding the AKT structure etc. The question bank is excellent although it could be organised better e.g. perhaps grouped into topics, being able to ensure you are only ever seeing 'new' questions vs seeing the same ones sometimes on multiple occasions. Overall this is an excellent tool for focused learning - you will need to put the time in, I did watch through all 50+ lectures, not just the ones I felt I was weaker at. I then did multiple mock exams (but not overly obsessively). My live exam score reflected that of my mock exam. I would like to say thank you to Mark Coombe and recommend this to anyone approaching the AKT. Riz - GPST3

I have used other online revalidation tools designed for nurses and I have found Fourteen Fish to be the best by a long way. I have just revalidated with the NMC and have found the process to be seamless and straight forward. My nursing colleagues are so impressed with Fourteen Fish they are planning to sign up tonight for their own revalidation this evening.

Thank you so much for helping me to pass the AKT first time! I found the modules so helpful particularly when faced with the thought of reading NICE guidelines on my own and trying not to fall asleep! The AKT community is great, it was comforting to see other people struggling with the same topics as me and Dr Coombe replies very quickly. I will be joining the CSA package soon!

Very useful and practical. Learned a lot from the clinical updates, passed my MCQ with a 4!! Also, the appraisal toolkit and compliance passport is really helpful to order all the required documents. It gives a good overview of all the achieved requirements so far.

really clear and useful interface with good navigation and intuitive layout. I miss the capacity to classify QIA that Clarity had, and would welcome that, but it#'s not a game changer.

Our reply: Thanks Tim. You certainly can classify QIA with our system. Please contact our support if you are still not clear and we can walk you through it (there is now a new QIA link from the appraisal overview screen if that helps).

Would not recommend this for AKT revision. Questions on here were nothing like those asked in the exam, mock exam has repetitive questions, videos are very dry and I kept falling asleep watching them. Passed AKT first time by abandoning this site and moving to the normal online revision banks which are much better.

Our reply: We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that our revision style doesn't suit you, but glad to hear you passed your AKT.

I continue to recommend Fourteen Fish to GPs as it is so much more user friendly that the other appraisal-recording options. It's easy to use, and makes it so simple to record CPD as you go (either by email into your Learning Diary, or using the app). I've enjoyed the free learning modules and even learnt something new about the treatment of hayfever this year.

I used Fourteen Fish whilst revising for AKT and found it hugely useful but have also found your library modules are a good way of keeping up-to-date in day-to-day practice too. I passed AKT with a good score, with particularly high scores in stats and admin sections, which I must say is hugely as a result of your modules! I really like how it is set up differently from most other revision resources, with the focus taken away from just doing questions from a bank, but instead focusing on truly understanding the information and being up-to-date, which ultimately results in much longer-term retention for clinical practice too, rather that just for exams. I look forward to continuing to use it, including for CSA next year!

Brilliantly flexible and intuitive I am going to start using the learning diary as my next step. 14 Fish has made keeping a CPD log fun and easy to do in my working life. I have found going between years of appraisal a bitlaboured but otherwise it’s great.

It would be useful to be able to link CPD/QIA entries to the GMC domains in the pre-appraisal prep page. Apparently other appraisal tools do this and it is easier for the appraiser to see evidence.

I am really satisfied with videos and subjects chosen. It's very helpful when you add some documents related to the subject. However, it would be better to record again 2 or 3 videos (when the rates is 2 or 3 stars). I just passed my MCQ exam today and it is unfortunate that the MCQ test had absolutely nothing to do with the teaching and revision of Fourteen Fish. Fourteen Fish is, fortunately, very close to the daily GP practice.

Our reply: Thank you for your review. We endeavour to ensure our library covers a broad spectrum to accommodate GP's daily practice as well as content to support a wide variety of exams, situations and questions.

This appraisal toolkit is excellent for appraisers as well as for appraisees. The concept and design are extremely transparent, slick and practical. The navigation is amazingly intuitive and fast, which really helps my preparation for an appraisal meeting. In fact, it makes the entire appraisal process including sign off etc. much, much easier than any other on-line appraisal toolkit I know. I hope that more doctors will use FourteenFish instead of these other, much clunkier options, which I frankly silently dread every time, when I am faced with them. FourteenFish is a win-win all around, both for doctors using it, as well as their appraisers.

I passed AKT the very first time despite having a rough time in life due to family health issues. Most importantly, I have to thank fourteen fish team for their invaluable contribution to my success. I scored an overall of 73% and I still can't believe this!!!! Thanks Dr Mark Coombe for all your support

I found the AKT package incredibly helpful, from the information about the preparation (especially the target of an hour a week for 3 months), the exam itself (eg how to use the review function) and the subject videos. I must have watched almost all of them, and found they helped me vary my revision and make it more meaningful to my day to day work in general practice. I was very pleased to score 86.5%, with 85% for both clinical and evidence questions, and 100% in the organisational questions.

It’s proving very easy to use- only started 4 weeks ago and I feel comfortable with it already. I like the fact you can record your personal notes ( not visible on the appraisal document ,but still entered in the same place ) alongside your reflections and learning points ,and also are able to attach relevant documents if needed . Very smooth- and also accessible anywhere you have internet .

I haven't used FourteenFish for an appraisal yet, but plan to as it has been very easy to use, with lots of good features. One improvement would be the ability to format text in the learning diary (bold/italics/bullets/etc) as this would make learning points and reflections easier to read. Thanks for the good work!

Our reply: We are hoping to add this feature in the future – thanks for the feedback :)

Pretty good for my needs so far. I would also like the ability to split my MSF / PSQs between my different roles and see the results of the different groups of responses without needing to do separate surveys (ie still have the same number of minimum total responses, but see the separate analysis). The PUNS & DENs entry option is good, but they appear to be recorded separate to QUIP, but I feel they should be a subset of QUIP?

Our reply: Thanks for that feedback and we will look at this for surveys. We normally try and work things out for users who require split feedback like this so do please get in touch if you need this again. We decided to put PUNS & DENS in the CPD section rather than QIA but we will review this again with our appraisal strategy group the next time we meet.

It's a great appraisal toolkit. Specially as it provides us with full package for appraisal and revalidation with its own collegue and patient feedback facilities.

allow online editing of size, colour, orientation of doors (especially as advice on uploading is so spectacularly confusing - says max 20mb but on submitting to appraisal says max 9mb - you need to address this). Otherwise - fantastic, am telling everyone about ease of use. Surprise me! Make it better.

Our reply: We are looking at some formatting options for learning entries so hopefully this is something you will see added in the New Year. Unfortunately the attachment limit is for limit the national system - on our system there is no limit but we need to enforce the size of summary that is sent to the NHS RMS. You can manage attachments from the appraisal page which means that the attachments are still on FourteenFish for your reference but don't contribute to a large appraisal summary.

Can't find any appraiser London NW who is using it? Therefore not yet assigned to an appraiser...

Our reply: I am very sorry to hear though you are struggling with finding an appraiser who is using our system. We are accepted all over NHS England and you should be allocated an appraiser by the appraisal service in your area. If an appraiser is not familiar with our system they don't need any training. We have always concentrated on making the system easy to use for appraisers and intuitive. We also make sure if they (or yourself as an appraisee) have any problems that we get back to them quickly and every support reply has a phone number on it.

Fourteen Fish is great, and my appraiser was very complimentary having used it with me for the 1st time during my last appraisal. I find it particularly helpful that it now syncs with GPCPD.com I wonder about a couple of development options for the future: I've always struggle with the concept of PUNS/DENS (I find them a bit contrived & can never really remember the difference between the two) but I often have the need to record a brief bit of learning, and this year created my own table for this, with the columns: Description/Do I need to change my practice?/Further study or update needed?/Credits I wonder if it might be possible to include something like this in the learning diary so we could add stuff directly to it? The other thing is, much as I love DNUK its learning record is incredibly clunky, and I wondered if there was any possibility in the future that we could sync our stuff on there with Fourteen Fish? Anyway, thanks v much for being loads better and FAR more approachable than Clarity! Sarah

Our reply: Thanks Sarah. We have been meaning to add PUNS and DENS for a while and your review reminded me and was the push we needed so this is now on as a CPD template. We have asked DNUK before about this and we will approach them again. Meanwhile you can use the web clipper to easily get content from any webpage if that helps: https://www.fourteenfish.com/extensions

Hi guys, I am really enjoying doing my pre appraisal prep using the learning diary entries I have created over the year . Just hope the stupid MAG technical issues for locums can be overcome to integrate the diary etc I have a query / suggestion Several of my learning points involved references to algorithms and other online resources as well as a couple of scanned documents . Could 14F create a single access point reference point for my own document / resources Forgive me if that is already included in the "library" module. - but do tell me if so Donald McLintock

I note that if on the iPhone App diary entries do not default to being added to the "Appraisal" This needs resolving (or I need educating in how to do it please) to save tedious back-coding down the line of individual entries. Thanks

please consider having a case reflection template, this could be added to either QIA or CPD section Please consider changing the credits to be able to enter time spent and then auto-calculated cpd value. e.g. 5mins. 10min, 15mins and they're equivalent. Please consider having a learning diary section to save the CPD section getting clogged with 100's of 5m entries. Otherwise a brilliant appraisal tool, easy to use, app easy to download, dashboard very helpful. I will be switching to using this one solely for future use. The psq's were done in a very timely manner and were dummy proof! The helps sections wee focused, relevant and simple to use.

Our reply: Thanks so much - always appreciate any feedback and suggestions. The Learning Diary is exactly that and you can decide which CPD entries to have in your appraisal by clicking Manage what's in my appraisal. We did have time spent before and we will look at adding this back.

It is great not to be timed out and lose your info if something happens during your entries. Congratulations to all the fourteen fish who worked on this website. Added bonus- there is always someone who is a doctor (or more intelligent )listening and watching when you contact the 14Fish, but do use the FAQ, they are good faqs. ........perhaps I should subtract my feedback or too many people will join up and the site will suffer from over-expansion.........

In addition, data from my previous portfolio was transferred seamlessly by the FourteenFish team - an excellent service. I would recommend FourteenFish to any colleague. Well done, and thank you!

Well done for developing this multi practitioner site to help all.

I love the iPhone app for the learning diary as it is quick and efficient and allows me to capture all my learning on my phone. I also use the e-mailing facility to send myself learning notes and weblinks for my learning diary.

My third appraisal on this tool. It is very easy to use particularly importing learning activities. It almost makes me want to buy a better phone so that I can use the app! One feedback note. I have just set my revalidation date and there appears to be no way of going forward on the calendar drop down other by one month at a time , which is a lot of clicks to go forward 5 years.

Our reply: Thanks so much for the feedback. Great point regarding the dates and though you can just type a date in the future this isn't obvious so we will improve this.

This was the first year I have used the revalidation toolkit (after checking with my appraiser that they used it too) and it has taken the pain of the clunky MAG form away and halved my prep time for the paperwork monster. I love the learning diary, that you can just send an email and that you can quickly add reflective notes and then tick to add to appraisal. I have recommended it to doctor and nurse colleagues. Great value for money and survey results turned around in less than one day -- brilliant! I will definitely use next year as well.

Can I compliment you all at Fourteen Fish on this game-changing toolkit. This is the first year that I have kept up with logging CPD by using the main toolkit and mobile app on a regular basis and the intuitive nature of the design has made it extremely easy and an absolute joy. I wish you every success with its continued development as I cannot see why it shouldn't become the market-leader in revalidation toolkits.

Thank you for your 'can do' attitude and 'no problem' approach which is why as an organisation you will succeed. My only feedback from colleagues is the name - some did not know to trust a 'fourteen fish' unsolicited e-mail approach and so did not complete the questionnaire (allegedly). I like the name, but get the point!

I can never find where to add paper FFT feedback forms!

Our reply: We are really sorry about this. Our aim to provide a service that saves you time, is easy to use and value for money and we are obviously not achieving this for you. The link to enter paper forms is on the setup page for patient feedback, it is www.leavemyfeedback.com/staff or you can just visit www.leavemyfeedback.com and there is a link if you are a member of staff. Following your feedback we have added this link to the home page for Patient Feedback. We have also added a feature so you can email members of staff with the instructions for this. We hope this helps and please don't hesitate to get in touch if anything isn't clear or if we can help with or improve anything.

Very easy for this survey to be ignored. Subject line needs to give name of Clinician and to say that a reply is needed ASAP

Our reply: Thanks for your feedback. The subject of the email invite does include the name of whom the 360 is for but not the recipient and we will look at changing this. The email asks if the survey could be completed that week and we also send a reminder after 10 days automatically if it has not been completed by then.

The reason I have chosen to use this tool for my own appraisal (and as an appraiser I have experience with a lot of tools) is because the team are so responsive to suggestions for improvements that make it work for me (and my complex portfolio career). I am delighted with the learning diary and e-mailing notes in at the time of an event. I always used to struggle to remember the dates of education I had been to - now the e-mail is on the log and the detailed notes are available for reference without cluttering up the appraiser's overview.

great and easy to use..much better than MAG. Only thing is I couldnt work out how to delete a quality improvement activity entry that I had accidentally entered twice

Really easy to use, very user friendly (easier than RCGP toolkit!) BUT my appraiser did not get it. The email to her got "lost" in cyberspace, so caused a bit of unnecessary panic on the day. If you could sort this out, I would give it 5 stars.

Our reply: So sorry to hear that your appraiser didn't get the initial email as this is naturally key to the whole process. We are reviewing this process to try and make sure this doesn't happen again.

In Hampshire and Dorset the toolkit is certainly popular (we have over 250 appraisals in progress) and it's gaining in popularity elsewhere. I am pleased you like it, we wanted to make a simple toolkit that made the process of preparing for and recording the appraisal simple.

Wonderful -- just so easy to use and relevant. I have dreaded the preparation for my appraisal for the last few years -- it has taken me up to 3 days to put my information on the Severn Appraisal Toolkit that we had been obliged to use -- what I had entered one year got lost and I have no credits to my name for that year! They coud not retrieve this information, despite dozens of tel calls and emails, so I now have a letter from my appraiser confirming that I had earned the 80 or so credits that I was claiming! I have recently discovered that other colleagues have also come to dread their appraisals because of this -- and indeed some have given up their registration after retirement, partly as a result. The appraisal recording process should be as easy and invisible as possible, so that it doesn't take time away from the actual CPD and the review of this in the appraisal/revalidation -- I believe that you have achieved this with your organisation and your website, and I intend to send an email to all my GP colleagues in Somerset to let them know how good it is. It is particularly encouraging for those of us who wish to practice back in developing countries after retirement (in only 2/12 for me) Thank you!

Difficult to register, and I really do not understand the site, the instructions are not at all clear.

Our reply: Thank you for taking the time to feedback but we are very sorry that you feel this way. Our aim is certainly to make the site easy to use with clear instructions. We will reflect on the layout and continue to try and improve it.

Very well designed User friendly I think it might be helpful for a new years appraisal to automatically have default setting for the previous years appraisers details as this will remain the same for most of us for 3 years in a row. We can change it when needed..just a thought? It's little things like that that are user friendly. Richard Peace

Our reply: Thank you for taking the time to suggest this and we have now added this feature.
