RCGP Scotland’s Online Self Assessment Learning Tool for GPs in the UK

Content

 

What is nPEP?

RCGP Scotland has redesigned and redeveloped the existing PEP e-Kit online interactive test into a new self assessment learning tool that reflects the methodology of the nMRCGP summative examination.

 

nPEP is predominantly an Applied Knowledge Test (AKT) aimed mainly at Specialist Registrars in General Practice (SpR GP). It is also an excellent learning tool for established GPs in the UK to identify specific educational needs and can be used as a means of managing Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

 

nPEP includes a total of 150 questions/items across all relevant RCGP Curriculum Statements. Each clinical topic has between 6 to 10 questions/items written by GPs working in clinical practice. Most scenarios therefore, reflect real clinical events encountered in one’s surgery.

 

All questions/items have associated supporting material. This includes book and online linked references combined with relevant feedback provided by the writers. Both the referencing and feedback are updated every 6 months.

 

nPEP contains the same four question/item types used in the nMRCGP exam and in similar proportions.

  • Single Best Answer (SBA)
  • Multi Best Answer (MBA)
  • Extended Matching Question (EMQ)
  • Algorithm Question (ALG)

A report is automatically generated at the end of the test with your overall and subject-specific score. You will also be able to go back to individual questions and review all reference material to support you in your self learning revision work.
