Reflection AssistantTurn rough notes into ePortfolio entries in minutes.
Reflection Assistant is a Chrome extension that drafts your ePortfolio forms from your own notes. Paste what happened, answer a short multiple-choice interview, and it writes a draft into the form for you to read, edit and approve.
- Never saves or submits for you
- Your note is not stored
- Warns about patient details
How it works
Three steps, all inside the ePortfolio page you already use. You stay in charge of what gets saved.
Write a rough note
Open any ePortfolio form, click the toolbar icon and jot down what happened in your own words. No patient identifiers.
Answer a short interview
The assistant asks a few multiple-choice questions to fill the gaps in your note, such as what went well and what you would change.
Review the draft
It writes a draft into every field it can. Read it, make it yours, and save the form yourself once you approve of the text.
Built for busy trainees
Spend your time on reflection, not on retyping the same structure into every form.
Your words, structured
The draft is built from your note and your answers. It is example text to edit, not a finished entry, so read it before you save.
You stay in control
Nothing is saved or submitted for you. The assistant only types into the open form; you decide what stays.
Knows what it cannot fill
Search fields such as Key Skill, Assessor and Supervisor, and tick boxes, are listed for you to fill by hand. Invented emails always use example.com.
Patient-data warning
The panel warns you if your note looks like it contains a name, NHS number, hospital number or date of birth, before anything is sent.
Which forms work
The assistant reads whichever form you have open on training.rcog.org.uk. These nine ePortfolio forms have been tested:
- Reflective practice
- Other evidence
- Procedure log
- Case-based discussion (CBD)
- Mini-CEX
- NOTSS
- OSATS (formative)
- OSATS (summative)
- Self team observation (Self-TO1)
Other forms on training.rcog.org.uk may work, but they are unproven. If one does not work, use Report a problem in the panel.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. The beta is free for invited trainees. Each invite code has a daily limit of about 8 to 10 entries.
How do I install it?
Request an invite below. We email you an invite code and the Chrome Web Store link. Click Add to Chrome, open an ePortfolio form, click the Reflection Assistant icon in the toolbar and paste your code once. Updates install automatically.
Which browsers does it work in?
Google Chrome on a laptop or desktop. Other Chromium browsers such as Edge may work but are untested.
Does it save or submit my entry?
No. It writes a draft into the open form. You read it, edit it and save the form yourself.
What happens to my note?
Your note, your answers and the form's field labels are sent to Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, to write the draft. The service does not store them. Read the privacy notice for the details.
Is this made by the RCOG?
No. Reflection Assistant is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
