Notes for the MRCGP: A Curriculum Based Guide to the AKT, CSA and WBPA

by Keith Palmer

This classic book has been providing help for candidates of the MRCGP exam for over 20 years. Now fully updated for UK trained doctors wishing to obtain a Certificate of Completion of Training in General Practice, this new edition covers all three required components of the integrated assessment programme. It provides sample questions for the Applied Knowledge Test (AKT), practice cases for Clinical Skill Assessment (CSA) and a guide to Workplace Based Assessment (WPBA).

The chapters follow the 16 sections of the RCGP curriculum and include summaries of the current evidence base with clinical guidelines, examination tips, revision tactics, and advice on where to get support - but not just at the crucial time of exams - it includes invaluable information for GPs starting their first year in practice and helps provide the "life skills" needed to be a GP, including topics relevant for the rest of a GP's career and their "continuing professional development" - appraisal, revalidation, managing change, teamwork, burnout, and other areas of self care.
