How to download your portfolio from Horus

  1. Sign in to horus.hee.nhs.uk with your usual Foundation Programme credentials.
  2. Click the Portfolio dropdown in the top menu.
  3. From the Portfolio main menu, choose Download Portfolio.
  4. Choose Full Portfolio Report (or "Complete Evidence Report") and select your current Foundation year.
  5. Tick every section, SLEs, reflections, teaching, QIP, PSG and meetings.
  6. Click Generate PDF and wait for the download. It usually takes around 5 minutes and the file is 5–40 MB.
  7. Drag the saved PDF straight into the upload box above.

Tip: if Horus times out, generate the report in two halves (first 6 months, then second 6 months) and upload both, we'll merge the evidence.

Upload troubleshooting

My PDF is too large to upload+
We accept PDFs up to 60 MB. If yours is bigger, re-export from Horus in two halves (first 6 months and second 6 months) and upload each separately, the analysis will combine the evidence. You can also open the PDF in Preview (Mac) or any free online compressor and re-save at a lower resolution; Horus exports often shrink by 60–80% with no loss of readable text.
The PDF is password-protected+
We can't read encrypted files. Open the PDF, choose 'Print → Save as PDF' (or in Adobe Acrobat: File → Properties → Security → No Security), save the unprotected copy, and upload that. Horus exports are not normally password-protected, so this usually only happens if you've added a password yourself.
The file looks corrupted or won't open+
Re-download the export from Horus, interrupted downloads are the most common cause. If the new file still won't open in your PDF reader, generate a fresh report inside Horus rather than reusing an old one. Make sure the file ends in .pdf and isn't a .zip or .html download by mistake.
Analysis says '0 evidence found' or 'no readable text'+
Your PDF is likely a scanned image rather than a text export. In Horus, choose the 'Full Portfolio Report' option (not 'Print to PDF' from the browser), that produces a real text PDF we can read. Scanned/photographed pages are not supported.
Upload keeps failing or times out+
Check your connection and try again, large Horus exports can take 30–60 seconds. If it still fails, try a different browser (Chrome or Edge), disable any VPN or strict ad-blocker for this page, and make sure you have at least the file's size again free in your browser cache.
Wrong file uploaded, can I re-upload?+
Yes. Just go back to the home page and drop a new PDF in. Each upload generates a fresh report link, and we don't keep your previous file.
