This book helps readers pull together the knowledge and communication skills required for success in the consultation components of the MRCGP exam, namely the Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA) and the Clinical Observation Tool (COT). Rather than learning by rote, this book promotes a methodical, step-wise approach which will enable you to easily identify the type of case presenting, and to work out exactly what you need to demonstrate for a successful consultation.The book features a number of cases to test and enhance your skills, in three formats: 13 teaching cases- these are very detailed cases which provide you with a great deal of support and advice, including: suggested approaches to the consultation, model answers, background knowledge required, and the theoretical underpinnings of the consultation. 20 long cases- these build on the knowledge gained in the teaching cases and feature detailed analysis to help you develop an ordered, step-wise approach to data gathering, clinical management and interpersonal skills. 15 shorter practice cases- these help refine the skills you have learnt in working through the earlier cases. These cases come with marking schemes and can be used either alone or in small groups. Once you have worked through the book and refined this methodical approach, you will be able to approach any consultation confident in the knowledge that you possess the tools to succeed.Note that this edition does not contain a DVD. The 13 video cases in the previous edition have been replaced by teaching cases.

The much anticipated practical educational manual for General Practice (GP) trainers, programme directors, and other teachers and educators in primary care has finally arrived. This extensive, full-colour guide is written by a select group of hands-on educators who are passionate and knowledgeable. The book captures their wisdom and vast experience in an accessible and practical way. Although it’s aimed at GP training, there are many chapters in this book that are relevant and transferrable to teachers and educators in areas outside of General Practice (and worldwide). We are sure that GP appraisers, Foundation Year trainers and other medical/nursing student educators will find the detailed comprehensive explorations inspirational. Beautifully presented, the chapters cover a wide educational framework employing a variety of presentational methods such as flowcharts, diagrams, conversational pieces, scenarios and anecdotes. Each chapter has a corresponding webpage containing over 300 additional resources - providing practical tools as well as additional reading material. This book was awarded the Royal College of GP’s ‘Paul Freeling Prize’ in 2013 for merititious work in the field of General Practice education. It is also used as the foundation textbook for the Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education (PGCE) in at least seven UK universities. The Essential Handbook for GP Training and Education adopts a relaxed, personable approach to primary care education that won't leave you with a headache.

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.
