I’d like to share a case study from a trainee we worked closely with over six weeks in this blog piece. The trainee passed the MRCGP SCA with a fantastic score in all domains. We receive many enquiries for SCA coaching and are limited in how many GP trainees we can accommodate. This blog will highlight how our MRCGP SCA coaching typically runs and will help you decide if its an approach you’d like to consider. Additionally, there is plenty of learning opportunities through the cases and action plans we share.

Have you ever asked yourself the following… What’s the best way to prepare for the MRCGP SCA? If you spend any time on Telegram, Whatsapp, or Facebook groups, you will see that GP trainees are looking for colleagues to team up with for SCA practice. In this blog, I’d like to ask the difficult question of whether it’s a big waste of your time?! To answer this question, I can only rely on the experiences that I’ve had with our MRCGP SCA coaching trainees.
