By viewing any material or using the information provided by WellMedic or other users, you agree that it is general education material, and you will not hold any person or entity responsible for any loss or damages resulting from the content or general information provided.

The WellMedic Slack channel is a public forum. Please be aware that everything you write within Slack is within a public domain and may affect your professional reputation.

Step-by-step instructions:

Await our approval (Step One)

Once the WellMedic team has approved your registration, we will add you to a dedicated workspace using Slack. Slack is an established way to communicate with your team. It’s faster, better organised and more secure than email.

Invitation email (Step Two)

You will receive an invitation to your registered email from Slack. Once you receive this email, please select “Join now”.

Create your slack account (Step Three)

Creating a Slack account is super easy. All you need to do is insert your name and password.

If you’d like to keep yourself anonymous to the wider WellMedic MRCGP AKT community, you can consider using an alias like Sambo125.

If you’d like to change your display name, you can do this at any time – see step eight.

Choose where you use Slack (Step Four)

The Slack application can be downloaded onto your computer, your phone, or if you prefer, you can use it within your browser.

What happens next? (Step Five)

We will add you to your dedicated workspace and two additional channels.

The dedicated virtual workspace

This is the area for you and your peers to collaborate during your MRCGP AKT revision.

We will share weekly pharmacology scenarios, and once you’ve been able to address the scenarios, we will share the answers with you.

Community channel

The community channel is where you can interact with other GP trainees taking the MRCGP AKT. Unlike many other MRCGP AKT forums, we do not allow adverts or spam to be posted within the channels.

Updates channel

WellMedic.co.uk is continually evolving. We will inform you of any new changes taking place here!

How should I access the channel? (Step Six)

If you choose to download the app, you can quickly join the chat as often as you like.

If you ever need to re-access the channel, you can join by using the link emailed to you from Slack.

I have another colleague who would like to join us! (Step Seven)

If you’d like to add a colleague to the workspace – please message in the workspace, and we will pick this up.

I want to change my display name (Step Eight)

Changing your display name is really easy! All you have to do is click the small icon circled in the below image.

Change the display name as you see fit. Just don’t be offensive!
