    Guided learning through the different aspects and stages of GP training. Videos, text lessons, quizzes, worked examples and practical exercises to walk you through what you need to know and how to do it. Sections include guidance on first steps, avoiding pitfalls, advice, building skills and RCGP exam preparation.

  • How long will it take ?

    It depends on your approach. The structure allows you to advance at your own pace either chronologically or by prioritising areas of particular need or interest to you. We would recommend revisiting the material at different stages of your training, which is why you will have access to the course material for 90 days.

  • Why has it been developed ?

    Over the years as a GP trainer, I have noticed recurring patterns of trainees struggling with particular aspects of their training. The course was developed to address areas where extra help and support is often needed. There is a lot to learn and put into practice in a short space of time. Attempting to catch up with the necessary knowledge and skills retrospectively leads to problems. The course is designed to inform and equip you to start and stay on the right track.
