All registrars need to complete the new nMRCGP which replaced Summative Assessment in August 2007. This is organised through the RCGP. New Registrars must familiarise themselves with the requirements as there are deadlines by which certain assessments must be done. Your Trainer will, of course, also offer appropriate help and advice. Click Here to visit the nMRCGP portal of the RCGP website.

The workplace based assessment (WPBA) is an important part of the nMRCGP and you will need to complete an e-Portfolio in much the same way as you may have done during your ST1 and ST2 years. An excellent guide to 'making the e-Portfolio work for you' and written by the Yorkshire and the Humber Deanery can be downloaded by clicking here. I would strongly advise all registrars to read this document at an early stage.

GPnotebook is a system designed to provide a concise synopsis of the entire field of clinical medicine with material organised systematically to ensure rapid retrieval of information.

The content of GPnotebook is based on clinical practice in the United Kingdom and provides a clinical reference guide for general practitioners and medical students; it may also be a useful reference resource for other health professionals. As well as being a clinical reference guide, GPnotebook also aims to be a tool for clinical education, clinical governance and continuing professional development.

This site is great for Registrars who want to look up something that doesn't come up every day. For example you can't remember whether to treat Bell's palsy with steroids, or perhaps you find a 3 year old with retractile testes and don't know whether to refer or watch.

Medical Certificates 

A new 'Fitness to work' certificate was introduced in April 2010 to replace many of the older certificates. It is very important that you famililarise yourself with this. Full details are on the DWP website. Click Here

 

Medical Requirements for Driving cars and lorries - HGV/LGV

We often need to know how to advise patients about their medical condition and driving. The DVLA provides specific criteria on a broad range of medical conditions. For example - how soon can you drive after a myocardial infarction or bypass ? For how long is a driving ban after a first seizure ? Can insulin dependent diabetics hold a HGV (class 2) Licence ?  Confidentiality issues etc. For answers to all these questions and more visit the medical advisors section of the DVLA website at http://www.dvla.gov.uk/medical/ataglance.aspx

Unlike the written guidelines the DVLA send to all GPs from time to time, the website is constantly updated to provide latest advice.

Remember you will be expected to know much of the basic advice for the nMRCGP examination.

You will need an "Athens Account" to access many of the resources (but not all) and you should have already got one from your hospital jobs. If not the document tells you how to register. A full range of e-resources is outlined in this document from the library team, click here.
