About the MRCGP

Since 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 is an essential requirement for entry to the General Medical Council’s GP Register and for membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners. The MRCGP 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 tests different skills but together they cover the curriculum for specialty training for general practice. Evidence for the workplace-based assessment is collected in the eportfolio of each GP trainee.
