Our Exam Preparation
With the advent of the nMRCGP the AKT and SCA have become focal points for many of our learners. Whilst not aiming to coach specifically for the exams, we recognise the importance of them, and try to help in making the training as relevant as possible.
We believe that success in the SCA in particular is related to hard-work, a wide clinical knowledge base and good communication skills. Somewhat similar to those required in real life General Practice.
We spend a lot of time in the build up to the SCA exams in the second half of teaching each week, helping to develop their communication skills.
