Useful Information
Further information about Croydon Vocational Training Scheme
MRCGP Exam Info
Most Trainees sit their AKT after/during their first GP post in their ST2/ST3 year.
CSA is recommended to be done in your ST3 year in order to gain a breadth of experience of different and challenging cases.
Recommended Websites/Books
AKT: Websites used include Passtest, Onexmination and Pass medicine. All have a bank of questions with explanations to reflect on during revision and links to NICE guidelines to learn for the exam.
CSA: The best way is to practice getting your own consultations down to 10 minutes. Also working in groups and role playing the different roles (doctor/patient/examiner) with constructive feedback for improvement at the end. Websites with useful resources include that of Bradford VTS & Pennine VTS. Liaise with your VTS Rep or ST2 and ST3 colleagues for more information/suggestions. They may also be selling their revision books on for bargain prices!
Courses
Ask your VTS Rep and ST3 colleagues for advice/suggestions or find out more on the Royal College of General Practitioners website
