The Clinical Consultation Day is now the MRCGP SCA Consultation Skills Course

Our full-day consultation skills day at the Royal Society of Medicine has been upgraded into an advanced clinical communication course mapped to the MRCGP SCA — observed 12-minute simulated consultations with individualised, written expert feedback. It is now hosted by the MD Acumen School of Postgraduate Medicine. MRCGP trainees at any stage remain the primary audience, and the day is equally relevant to doctors preparing for MRCP(UK) PACES, MRCS and other postgraduate clinical examinations, and to senior medical students (UK and international) developing consultation skills that exceed the benchmarked GMC MLA CPSA and PLAB 2 OSCE standards.

Wigmore Room, 4th Floor, 1 Wimpole Street, London W1G 0AE · registration from 08:30 · coffee break & lunch included · free to attend, no deposit · 20 delegate places.

What's changed

Same day, same venue — a bigger course

The day originally planned for this date has been expanded into Clinical Communication MRCGP SCA Course: RSM, Sat 12 Sep 2026 — an advanced consultation skills course built around the MRCGP Simulated Consultation Assessment's published blueprint, marking domains and examiner feedback statements, convened by Prof Rajesh Varma with an expert clinical faculty. Because it trains consulting that exceeds the benchmarked standard the GMC's MLA CPSA and PLAB 2 OSCE expect at graduation, it remains an outstanding fit for senior students and for doctors preparing for any UK clinical examination.

✓
Observed 12-minute simulated consultations, sampled across the SCA's twelve clinical case categories — multiple cases, no duplication across the day.
✓
Faculty act as both simulated patient and examiner — so the clinician who experienced your consultation from the patient's side is the one who marks it.
✓
Examiner calibration — faculty demonstrate one exemplary and one deliberately flawed consultation and ask you to grade them, so you learn how examiners think.
✓
Individualised, written feedback mapped to the SCA's three marking domains — with a personal action plan.
✓
Free to attend — no fee, no deposit, nothing to pay at any stage.
