MRCGP AKT-focused modules

Principally designed for the MRCGP AKT examination, with broader appeal to GPs at any stage of their career and to pharmacists, advanced nurse practitioners and advanced clinical practitioners in primary care. Each module: a case, the Golden Triangle, three questions with worked answers, and an NVU (UK) CPD certificate.
