OneFile

The digital home for biomedical scientist pre-registration
training and aligned to the updated HCPC Standards of Proficiency

IBMS Registration Training Portfolio (Version 5.0) is aligned with the 2023 updates to the HCPC Standards of Proficiency (SoPs) for biomedical scientists and is completed using OneFile, an ePortfolio platform designed to streamline training, assessment, and verification. 

To support the transition to OneFile and help training labs implement best practice with the use of OneFile, the IBMS has organised training sessions and developed guidance resources for candidates, training officers, verifiers, and other colleagues.

Step-by-step guides to help users log in, set up accounts, and upload/assess evidence:

Evidence Requirements

Each module of the IBMS Registration Training Portfolio (Version 5.0) requires three pieces of evidence, ensuring all HCPC SoPs assigned to the module are demonstrated.

  • Evidence 1: Mandatory—designed to cover specific HCPC SoPs.
  • Evidence 2 & 3: Candidate choice—allowing flexibility in demonstrating competencies.

The mandatory evidence requirement in each module was introduced following consultation with IBMS training professionals, to enhance consistency and support structured training.

Mapping Document

The HCPC registration mapping shows how the updated HCPC SoPs align with portfolio sections and modules.

Mandatory evidence is structured to scaffold training plans and ensure proficiency at the point of registration.
