How to use it
Seven steps. Setting up takes a minute, once. The rest fits around your lists.
Once
Tap Get started, add your name and stage, and tick the subspecialties you do. Then add your current post, with its dates and your educational supervisor. Targets are optional, and you can skip setup and finish it later.
Already logging on another phone? Choose Restore from a backup on the first screen.
Every list
Search with the shorthand you use, or browse your subspecialties. Tap the side and your independence, then Save case. The day, site and supervisor carry over from your last case, so a whole list can be logged the next morning.
Each case gets its own code, like IL-0051. Log another like this copies it, leaving the side and your independence for you to choose.
Tap Validate now and hand your phone to your supervisor. They see only the cases logged under their name, tick the ones they agree with, can change a level or add feedback, and sign with their own PIN.
The first time, your supervisor checks their name and registration number, then creates their own PIN on your phone.
As you go
Biopsies and samples sent to the lab come due for a result after 7 days, or 14 for bone and spine biopsies. When one is due, search that day’s list on RIS, then tap Diagnostic or Non-diagnostic. Your biopsy yield adds up as you go.
Add the weekly results reminder to your calendar from Settings, so nothing slips.
See what’s waiting on you, your targets for this post with a line for where you’d expect to be today, Rad-DOPS for your training year, your biopsy yield, and your independence growing month by month.
Set a target for a subspecialty, a modality or a single procedure, counting every case you performed or only levels 3 and 4.
At your meetings
At your mid-point and end-of-post meetings, tap Start logbook review and hand your phone to your educational supervisor. They see your numbers and who validated your cases, can sign off competence for each procedure, add a comment, and sign with their PIN.
Make a PDF logbook, a spreadsheet or a CSV file, for this post, your training year, all time or dates you choose. The PDF gives a summary, then every case, ready for ARCP, interviews and your e-portfolio.
Consultants make a one-page appraisal summary for their appraisal year instead.
Made for everyone in the room
Every case with its level, validated as you go, so your numbers are ready before anyone asks.
You use the trainee’s phone and your own PIN, and see only the cases logged with you.
Log what you perform and what you supervise, with no validation, across your appraisal year.
Private by design
Private to youYour cases are stored only on your phone, and they’re private to you. Nobody at Intervention Logbook can see them, not even Dr Azhar Ali, who made the app.
No account, no serverThe app has no account to create, and your cases are never sent to us. They only leave the phone in a backup or export you make.
No patient details, everThe app never asks for names, dates of birth, or hospital, NHS or accession numbers. Cases are logged by day, list and procedure.
It checks what you typeIf a few words look like a patient detail, the app asks before saving. An NHS number is never kept, and every export is checked before it’s made.
Back up, and carry on anywhereA backup is locked with a passphrase you choose. Restore it on a new phone and carry on where you left off.
