What Is GP Training?
-
3 year specialty programme
-
Generally consists of 18 months in hospital-based rotations and 18 months in general practice.
-
Possible hospital posts include: general medicine, elderly care, paediatrics (hospital or community), emergency medicine, psychiatry (general or old age), OBGYN, ENT, opthalmology, dermatology and palliative care.
-
Twice yearly recruitment (August and February start).
Selection Specifics:
-
Initial applications are made through Oriel.
-
Eligible applicants are subsequently invited to sit the Multi-Specialty Recruitment Assessment (MRSA).
-
As per the current GP recruitment website: "All applicants who achieve a combined total score of 575 in the MSRA will qualify for a streamlined route which does not require them to attend a face-to-face assessment at Selection Centre." (Reference: ST1 Guidance for Applicants 2019-20. The General Practice (GP) National Recruitment Office. Accessed: https://gprecruitment.hee.nhs.uk/Recruitment/Applicant-Guidance/GPST1)
-
Applicants who pass the MRSA but who do not qualify for direct pathway offers (ie don't attain a total score of 575 or above) are requested to complete assessments at the Selection Centre.
Selection Centre Assessments
-
2 assessment types: scenario simulation and written assessment.
Simulation Exercises (3 x 10 minutes)
-
You will be expected to undertake 3 simulated consultations: one with a patient, one with a carer/relative and a third with a hospital professional.
Written Exercise (30 minutes)
-
This exercise tests your ability to prioritise issues and provide justification for your response.
