RCGP releases new training DVD
A new DVD to help GP trainers prepare trainees
for the Case-based discussion component of the Workplace Based
Assessment (WPBA) has been launched by the RCGP.
“Talking the Talk: Using Case-based
discussion” provides simple and clear guides to all aspects of the
College (RCGP) membership assessment, the nMRCGP.
The combined DVD and workbook explains
Case-based discussion (CbD) in detail and covers the use of
exploratory oral techniques, the gathering of evidence,
judgment-making about the competence of the specialty registrar as
well as how to accurately record a discussion in the Extended
Trainer’s Record (ETR).
The DVD demonstrates four CbDs in action with
different trainers interviewing specialty registrars at various
stages of training.
Nav Chana, who co-authored the DVD with Patti
Gardiner, Amar Rughani and Nicki Williams said, “We hope that this
will be a really helpful resource for both trainers and trainees
alike.”

Notes to Editors
- The Workplace Based Assessment (WPBA) along with the Applied
knowledge test (AKT) and Clinical skills assessment (CSA) are the
three categories that constitute the nMRCGP.
- The nMRCGP covers all aspects of the curriculum and is the
single process by which doctors can obtain their CCT (Certificate
of Completion of Training). The nMRCGP is also an essential
requirement for entry to the General Medical Council (GMC)
Generalist Register and is the main route to membership of the
RCGP.
- The Royal College of General Practitioners is the largest
membership organisation in the United Kingdom solely for GPs.
It aims to encourage and maintain the highest standards of general
medical practice and to act as the “voice” of GPs on issues
concerned with education; training; research; and clinical
standards. Founded in 1952, the RCGP has over 30,000 members
who are committed to improving patient care, developing their own
skills and promoting general practice as a discipline.
