Annual ePortfolio Review
The ePortfolio Review has moved from a five year cycle to an annual cycle. Under previous legislation, pharmacists were required to submit their ePortfolio extract for review once every five years. This has now changed, and pharmacists are required to submit their ePortfolio extract each year. Under the previous model, pharmacists were not included in the review process until they had been registered for three years. This has changed and recently qualified pharmacists are now included in the annual cycle.
How do you know if you are included?
For the 2027 review, all pharmacists who were on the Register before 1 January 2026 will be required to submit their ePortfolio extract for review.
Communication from the IIOP
On 19 October 2026, the IIOP sent an email to all pharmacists included in the review using the email address listed on their IIOP profile. This email provides important information on the 2026/27 ePortfolio Review, including a link to the ePortfolio Review support resources and the specific dates in January when you can submit your ePortfolio extract for review.
Submission Dates
If you are included in ePortfolio Review, on Monday 18 January 2027 the IIOP ePortfolio System will send an email to the email address registered on your IIOP profile notifying you that you may now submit CPD Cycles from your ePortfolio in line with the requirements of the 2026/27 ePortfolio Review Standards. You will have until Sunday 31 January to submit your extract. You may submit cycles at any stage during the two-week submission window, and you may make more than one submission.
It is imperative that pharmacists have their current, active email address registered on their IIOP profile in order to ensure that these important communications are received.
Please note that it will not be possible to submit cycles before the submission period opens in January 2027. Submitting your extract is a straightforward process which should only take a few minutes to complete, once your cycles are fully finalised and ready to submit.
Ready Reckoner
The check readiness function is now available on your ePortfolio dashboard to assist you when planning which cycles to submit in January. Further guidance on how to use the ready reckoner is available in the Ready Reckoner Guide in the support resources below.
IIOP Helpdesk
We encourage pharmacists to get in touch with the IIOP at info@iiop.ie if they require specific support regarding the ePortfolio Review process. The IIOP team are on hand to support you with any queries that you may have.
