This video and accompanying workbook cover the range of skills tested in the MRCGP oral exam in relation to working with patients, colleagues and society. This unique and flexible package can be used by doctors studying for the exam individually or within small groups as a prompt for discussion.

The video includes examples of questions delivered by examiners and answered by candidates as used in the oral module of the MRCGP exam, and includes stop points for discussion at key stages. The comprehensive workbook includes guidance on how to use the package educationally and is also a useful reference text for the key areas examined in the module.

The package is also useful for GPs at every stage in their career. The topics cover a wide range of skills and principles that are used daily by GPs and it is therefore a useful resource for personal and professional development.

''As this tape and book will show you, the MRCGP Oral is intended to examine a candidate’s decision making and professional values within and beyond the consulting room. This tape and book - conceived, developed and brought into existence by members of the Oral Development Group - is further evidence of our unremitting commitment to ensuring that gaining the MRCGP is something worth aspiring to, and, once achieved, is something to be proud of.''
