General Practice Specialty Training is the official RCGP guide for GP educators. The book introduces, explains and de-mystifies in a clear and practical style the new training and assessment process for general practice and the method for making it happen.

It is written by a handpicked team of authors, who are experienced in education and the reality of teaching and training whilst undertaking a busy service job. This is the only text available that provides tips and expertise for GP educators on the new assessment process - a definitive guide in line with Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) and PMETB requirements and RCGP expectations.

The book is written in a practical style, with interactive and instructive tips and advice that can be integrated into everyday medical training. General Practice Specialty Training will:

* help GP trainers and hospital clinical supervisors to guide, support and assess specialty registrars using the new GP curriculum and assessment package

* ease the fear of the new approach brought in by the MMC initiative and PMETB

* support trainers and clinical supervisors as they apply the new assessment processes of nMRCGP

* outline a positive approach to delivering and assessing the GP curriculum for specialty training

* offer a practical approach, covering a wide-ranging curriculum that spans a wide spectrum of teaching methods and assessment processes

* signpost readers to websites where they can find more in-depth detail as appropriate.
