The aims and outcomes of specialist training have been standardised with the advent of the new GP curriculum and development of the MRCGP as the single route for assessment and qualification as a GP. The curriculum document can be found at the Royal College www.rcgp.org.uk
The challenge for you as learners with responsibility for your own learning is how and where to learn all of these competencies during your time on the NGPTP.
The majority of your learning opportunities will take place in the work environment. You will also have regular central teaching at Coach Lane Campus.
