Hi All,

Please see below for PowerPoint documents containing all the slides for those attending the Capnocytophaga canimorsus talk last week.

Also shared is a word document containing Q&A that was discussed after the presentation was over.

Lastly, I have a favour to ask all of the attendees on behalf of Dr Joe Henderson - would you mind filling in a short survey for him regarding the presentation? It can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/R5LD5GZ

Synopsis: Scientists have developed a living material approach that uses a strain of genetically engineered E. coli as a locally acting probiotic - the bacteria produce a network of nanofibers that directly bind to mucus to fill inflamed areas of the colon like a patch, shielding them from gut microbes and environmental factors.

Hi again,

The next video session (April) is now available using the 'Recorded zoom meetings' link below (same password as 'competencies').

There are now 3 in total relating to the registration portfolio:

• Feb: Portfolio overview

• Mar: E-portfolios (and what should be included)

• Apr: External verifiers report overview

Please see document below for some examples of portfolio evidence students / trainees could use:

I have had a look through them and there are some good examples - although personally I would want to see some more objective evidence examples included in a portfolio (i.e. evidence taking from the students work place) such as photos of the H&S notice board, a telephone log, screen shots etc.).

See link below for some good examples that past students have used in their portfolios (1 example for each of the 10 modules is included):

Finally there are also some suggested portfolio evidence examples that can be found in the department specific timetables on the link below:
