Route A — upload feedback collected elsewhere
1. Go to Supporting information → Add an entry
From your Portfolio, find Supporting information and choose Add an entry.
2. Choose the feedback type

Route B — collect a new survey in FourteenFish
This route creates a feedback survey inside FourteenFish. Patient and colleague feedback are set up separately, but the steps are essentially the same.

Go to Surveys and choose Start a new feedback survey.
2. Select “Me”
When asked who you are collecting feedback on, select Me.
3. Pick Patients or Colleagues
Choose who you want to ask to complete the feedback.
4. Choose the questionnaire
For doctors, select Clinical doctors.
Finish setting up the survey
5. Use the standard questions
FourteenFish shows the clinical-doctor questionnaire. You can use the standard question set, or add additional questions if needed.
6. Complete your self-assessment
Complete the self-rating questions before sending the survey out.
7. Invite participants
Invite people by SMS or email. FourteenFish also provides a printable questionnaire option.
A few practical tips
• Keep the patient and colleague surveys clearly labelled so they are easy to find later in your appraisal portfolio.
• If you are uploading an existing report, include a short reflection rather than uploading the file with no context.
• If you are collecting a new survey, check that you have selected the correct group (Patients or Colleagues) before sending invitations.
• Close the survey when collection is complete so the results can be collated and reviewed.
