nMRCGP for Educators
The RCGP Website Says Everything!
The RCGP website is your essential resource for all the latest information and guidance. It is being continually updated, therefore if it says anything different from what’s on this website: believe the college! http://www.rcgp.org.uk/
Key Principles
* Whilst the process is Trainee led, this will be supported by the educational supervisor
* There are 6 monthly reviews throughout training at which the trainee's progress will be reviewed and actions agreed
* Devise a plan with your trainee early on avoid last minute panic
The GP Curriculum and nMRCGP
The curriculum covers the knowledge and skills that all GP trainees need to learn in order to deliver the highest quality standards of patient care.
Familiarise yourself with the GP curiculum; it's a big document but the more you look at it, the more familiar you'll become. All components of nMRCGP are mapped to the competencies in the curriculum.

GMC vs RCGP
GMC stands for Postgraduate Medical Education Training Board and is the body that approves training programmes and examinations for all medical specialties. In terms of general practice, it approves things like the GP curriculum, standards required for training posts and end assessments like the nMRCGP exam. The RCGP is the body that has been seconded to develop these things and put them out to Deaneries. The Deaneries are there to ensure what has been set nationally is implemented locally. It is the programme directors, trainers and consultants who actually help to deliver some of this stuff.
