Why this course?

Statistics is a relatively small part of the AKT, but it is an area many trainees avoid, overcomplicate, or feel uncertain about.

This course is designed to help you approach AKT statistics more calmly and more safely. The focus is not advanced maths. It is understanding what the question is really asking, interpreting data accurately, and avoiding common misunderstandings.

GP Fluency’s approach is grounded, practical and exam-focused. The aim is to help you make sense of statistics in a way that is useful for the AKT and relevant to clinical practice.

Who this course is for

This course is suitable for GP trainees preparing for the AKT, particularly if:

  • statistics feels like an area you want to strengthen

  • you lose marks on graphs, risk questions or evidence interpretation

  • you want a clearer framework for understanding common AKT data questions

  • you prefer interpretation and meaning over formula-heavy teaching

  • The course focuses on the areas of statistics and evidence interpretation that commonly cause difficulty in the AKT.

  • Including:

    • normal and skewed data

    • mean, median, SD and IQR

    • standard deviation versus standard error

    • screening tests, prevalence and predictive values

    • common pitfalls in interpreting diagnostic and screening questions

  • Including:

    • absolute and relative risk

    • baseline risk

    • number needed to treat and number needed to harm

    • odds ratios, hazard ratios and confidence intervals

    • bias, confounding and cautious interpretation of research findings

  • Including:

    • forest plots

    • funnel plots

    • cancer risk charts

    • Cates charts

    • decision aids

    • screening bias

    • common AKT visual data formats and how to interpret them safely

    This is delivered in the same session as 3b: Timed AKT-style “mini mock” with guided walkthrough

  • The course includes a short timed set of AKT-style data interpretation questions delivered live on screen, followed by a structured walkthrough of answers, reasoning and exam technique.

    This is delivered in the same session as 3a: Interpreting AKT visuals and data formats.

What you will leave with:

  • interpreting common AKT statistics questions

  • making sense of visual data and research figures

  • distinguishing relative from absolute effects

  • approaching screening and diagnostic test questions more safely

  • recognising what the exam is really testing

  • avoiding overthinking and overclaiming

You will also receive take-home summary resources to support consolidation after the session.
