MACP Evolve

MACP is our CPD portal that provides access to an e-portfolio that intuitively maps to MACP and therefore IFOMPT Standards as well as FCP standards and MSK Advanced Practice (AP) standards.

- The e-portfolio supports those seeking to provide evidence of capability in completing their FCP and AP frameworks.
- The e-portfolio can support those wishing to join the MACP as Full Members in assisting them in submitting evidence for membership.
- The MACP also recognised the importance of developing the platform to include the upcoming Consultant Framework Capabilities to ensure inclusivity for all our members in recording CPD.

This CPD portal is an MACP MSK Capability portal designed to help any MSK clinician to manage their CPD. The importance of CPD has always been essential, however gathering evidence to support your leaning can be a challenge. MACP Evolve makes this job easier using accessible easy to use functions.

It links to the HEE FCP roadmap and it links to the MACP Portfolio Route. Watch the video to see how it can benefit you.

Free access is available to all categories of MACP Membership - Full, Associate and Affiliate as part of the membership package.

You do not have to complete any exams to become an affiliate member of the MACP other than being an MSK clinician.  After your membership application has been approved, we will send you an email from the FourteenFish database.

Do I have to pay? 
No, supervisors or mentors do not have to pay to view the trainee portfolio or verify the trainee on the website.

How will I know when a trainee's FCP or MACP portfolio is ready? 
Once a trainee feels their portfolio has reached a sufficient level to be verified or the trainee completes the self-rating section on the verification form, you will be emailed on the email address that they have entered for you on the toolkit. 

FCP RoadMap, Knowledge, Skills and Attributes mapping has also been made easy and user friendly with both desktop and mobile functions. As the FCP MSK Roadmap stage 2 WPBA mirrors that of the GP specialist training, it made sense that we should utilise a tried and tested platform, endorsed by the RCGP, to help MSK FCP's and their supervisors navigate stage 2 sign off. Clinical supervisors can be assigned to view the portfolio before training begins.

The portal has also been mapped fully to IFOMPT standards to aid trainees completing a portfolio route to full membership of the MACP. Mentors and HEI’s can access the trainee portfolio to aid external verification towards completion.

The portal is not just a tool for aspiring FCPs or MACP students. If you are a qualified practitioner the portal, along with the App, can be used to document all relevant information required for appraisal, or HCPC audit. 

Access to the portal is included in MACP membership - the MACP’s strategy is to be an inclusive organisation that provides leadership, support and growth for the musculoskeletal community. 

We now offer affiliate membership to a % of non-physiotherpy clinicians with an interest in MSK. Our aim is to bring together a community of practice for all those in the field of MSK and to support their MSK journey. Please see affiliate membership page for more details
