BMJ Portfolio is a free online CPD tool. If you're already registered with BMJ Learning, you're already registered - use the same login. Every course you complete on BMJ Learning is added automatically, so there's no manual logging for your Learning activity, and you can add anything else - conferences, webinars, in-person learning - alongside it.
Access it
Go to portfolio.bmj.com and sign in with your BMJ Learning details.
You can also get there from BMJ Learning: open the My Account menu and select Update my details - this opens your Portfolio profile directly, in a new tab.
Your profile
Your profile has three sections:
Your details - name, email, access code, BMA number, marketing preferences
Your role - profession, role, and speciality. Keep this current - it drives your personalised course recommendations
Your appraisal - appraisal date, CPD target, and connecting a FourteenFish account
Your dashboard
Every completed BMJ Learning course appears here automatically. From the dashboard you can:
Add other learning - conferences, webinars, in-person CPD - via Add item. Give it a type, title, credits earned, and date
Filter by learning type or date, and clear filters to see everything again
Resume an unfinished course - select it, then View course > Start learning
Reflections
Every entry has a Reflections field - describe what you learned and how it'll change your practice. If you're stuck, Guide my reflection gives AI-assisted prompts to help you write one.
Notes
Separate from Reflections: a private space on each item for your own reminders or thoughts. Notes stay private and are never synced anywhere, including to FourteenFish.
Uploading files
Attach a file or photo to any item - a certificate, a photo from a conference, anything you want as supporting evidence. Uploaded files are not included when you export a report - they stay attached to the item in your Portfolio only.
Certificates
Find the completed course under Your Learning and select Download certificate. Certificates are PDF only.
Exporting a report
Select the items you want to include, then Export. You'll get a summary to review before downloading the PDF - use the table filters first if you need a specific date range or tag rather than everything on screen.
Personalised recommendations
Based on the profession set in Your role, Portfolio suggests courses at the bottom of your dashboard. Select a tile to start.
Connecting FourteenFish
If you use FourteenFish, you can sync your BMJ Learning completions to it automatically. See Connecting your FourteenFish portfolio to BMJ Learning & BMJ Portfolio for setup and how it works.
