For new foundation doctors
Starting FY1?
Start the record you'll keep.
The chest drain you do at 3am in September is unrememberable by June. Two sentences written on the day beat a paragraph invented for ARCP. Odyssey is a private journal built for exactly that — and it stays yours long after this rotation ends.

The habits that matter
Portfolio advice nobody gives you at induction.
Write it down the day it happens
Not for ARCP — for you. Thirty seconds on your phone between patients: what happened, what you did, what you would do differently.
The e-portfolio you are given is not your portfolio
It belongs to the deanery, and access ends when rotations do. Keep your own record and feed the official system from it — not the other way round.
Get sign-off close to the event
Chasing supervisors in May for things you did in September is the biggest source of ARCP panic. Send the magic link the same week.
Never record patient-identifiable details
Reflections are about you and your learning. No names, no numbers, no identifiable specifics — this protects you and them, and Odyssey enforces it by design.
Where Odyssey fits
The private layer under the official one.
Odyssey does not replace Horus, Turas or anything your deanery mandates. It is where the record actually lives — the place you write once, then export wherever the paperwork demands.
Capture in 30 seconds
Four entry types — session, encounter, procedure, event — with quickfill presets tuned for speed on a ward round.
Magic-link sign-off
Type your supervisor’s email. They click, read and countersign in the browser — no account, no chasing.
Evidence when you need it
Narratives group your entries into themes; appraisals turn selected work into a structured PDF for systems or panels that accept it.
Private and portable
EU-hosted, encrypted, exportable in full. When you rotate, change specialty or move country, it comes with you.
