Patient safety plus

Peter Cheung, an RCGP lay advisor for the MRCGP, outlines how lay advisors contribute to quality assurance and standard-setting, ensuring the examination reflects public expectations and real-world clinical responsibility. He explains why patient safety must underpin the GP licensing examination, why the AKT must identify safe practitioners, and how it is the function of the AKT to identify the “Goldilocks point” where passing candidates are safe, competent, and ready for independent practice.
