INTRODUCTION

This is a walk thru guide to assist Hospital Clinical Supervisors with the new nMRCGP examination

From August 2007 there is a single training and assessment system for UK trained doctors wishing to obtain a CCT (Certificate of Completion of Training) in General Practice. Satisfactory completion of the scheme will be an essential requirement for entry to the General Medical Council’s GP Register and for membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners.

The nMRCGP is an integrated assessment programme that includes three components:

  • Applied Knowledge Test (AKT)
  • Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA)
  • Workplace-Based Assessment (WPBA)

Each of these is independent and will test different skills but together they will cover the curriculum for specialty training for general practice.

Evidence for the workplace-based assessment will be collected in the e-portfolio of each GP trainee.
