• Keep doing what your doing as it works fine (for me anyway) (GP, UK)
• Allow enhance 2 to link to bmj portfolio and earn 2 points for each completed module (GP, NZ)
• its very complicated with too many add ons and tags and fancy features (GP, UK)
• I have exported the portfolio onto the exel and put my scores I got on the modules GP, Japan
