As with all GP Fluency study days, groups are limited to 5 trainees per facilitator to maximise feedback and learning. Refreshments, a light lunch, and an attendance certificate are included.
Focus: How to deliver safe, structured and patient-centred consultations within the 12 minutes of the RCGP SCA.
This day tackles one of the biggest challenges in the SCA: time management without cutting corners. You’ll practise recognising when to explore fully, when to focus tightly, and how to keep consultations flowing while still hitting the key domains. Using challenging case types, we’ll develop strategies to balance empathy, clinical reasoning, and safety within the time limit.
You’ll learn how to:
Structure your consultation to make every minute count.
Recognise and manage agenda-heavy or complex patients within time.
Prioritise data gathering and management without missing the essentials.
Use signposting, summaries, and transitions to keep consultations on track.
Avoid common timing pitfalls that lose marks in the exam.
Best for: Trainees who feel they “run out of time” in practice cases, or who want to sharpen their ability to manage challenging consultations under exam pressure
