SCA support for GP trainers
The RCGP has designed a complementary series of webinars for trainers following feedback from our trainer community. Free to member RGCP members, the webinars take place every six month and delivered in two parts covering: what trainers need to know about the exam and consultation techniques, and case examples and exam preparation. Register your place at the next webinar and help prepare, guide and support your trainees for exam success.
