Trainer Tools
SCA Feedback Prompts
A printable tool to help trainers structure feedback on simulated consultations. It provides clear prompts across key SCA domains — data gathering, clinical management, relating to others — and supports focused, constructive feedback. Ideal for use in both practice settings and HDRC sessions.
Patient Agenda Checklist
Understanding and addressing the patient’s agenda is fundamental to effective consultations and important for resident doctors/trainees to master.
Our Patient Agenda Checklist offers GP educators a clear, practical framework to help learners explore patients’ ideas, concerns, and expectations (ICE) with confidence.

**Monthly Cases**
August Cases Available
Each month, we’ll be sharing two brand new ready to use cases; each evidenced against latest guidance (always referenced) and RCGP standards (COTs/SCA aligned.
These are designed to be used in, and support trainers, in tutorials, or one-to-one supervision. These cases are designed to reflect real-world general practice, with opportunities to explore clinical reasoning, communication skills, and patient-centred management
They are developed so that the trainer can use with ST1, ST2 and ST3 resident doctors, using their discretion with the psychosocial and patient attitudes and beliefs to increase the challenge as needed
August’s cases (click on them to download):
Each case pack includes:
Doctor’s notes
Patient script
Evidence-based guidance with relevant links (NICE, CKS, BNF, etc.)
Optional tutor guidance for qualitative feedback
Whether used as part of assessments or broader consultation skills teaching, these cases are designed to prompt discussion, encourage reflection, and support confident, structured learning.
September Cases will be released on 4th September 2025 - subscribe if you want to be emailed when they go live!
Agenda Mapping Tool
Effective consultations rely on a clear understanding of both patient and clinician priorities. Our Agenda Mapping Tool supports this by helping trainees and educators identify, organise, and negotiate consultation agendas to deliver patient-centred care.
The tool comes in two versions:
A prefilled prompt version designed to guide educators on how to use the tool effectively during supervision and feedback.
A blank version that trainers can use independently, adapting it flexibly to suit their training style and trainees learning needs.
Together, these resources empower both trainers and trainees to navigate complex consultations with clarity, structure, and confidence.
Half Day Release Resources
Planning Resources
Teaching Sessions for August
Many educators will currently be focusing on induction, e-portfolios and reflections as new trainees settle in. With some teaching programmes taking a summer break, you might not be planning your sessions just yet — and that’s absolutely fine.
Although we’re releasing these resources in August, they’re designed to be flexible. Use them now if you’re ready, or save them for later in the training year when they best fit your programme.
Whenever you choose to use them, we hope they save you time and spark meaningful learning for your trainees.
w/c 18th August
Communication Skills
Always useful to do role play sessions. The cases here come with doctors note, script, management references, a marking scheme within the SCA domains. For ST3’s this may work well. You may choose to ditch the marking scheme for ST1 and ST2’s and give more qualitative/narrative feedback.
These cases can be used with actors or trainees being the patient (do underestimate the value of the latter , particularly for trainees who struggle with empathy or valuing patient priorities)
w/c 11th August

Career Planning & Development
With more and more trainees out of sync and differing learning needs there is never a wrong time to start these discussions. This session would be an initial session, getting the trainees to think about their own career development. You can add in local pathways, fellowships etc.
Some educators start these conversations in ST1 & 2, others leave until ST3 - This set of slides is designed to work at all stages of GP Training
