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.
