There is a wealth of high quality information about nMRCGP, and in particular about the workplace-based assessment aspect of the examination, on the college website at www.rcgp.org.uk. If you follow the links to Certification and Assessment then you will find full details of every aspect of the examination, along with all the necessary documentation. The workplace-based assessment documents are also available in the downloads section. We also have the presentations from the last two trainers’ workshops available in the Trainers’ Workshop Minutes section.
