If any component of assessment is completed after 1 August 2008, will this result
in the nMRCGP award, rather than the MRCGP?
Yes. From 1 August 2008, nMRCGP will be the only assessment available, and will
therefore become 'MRCGP'. (The ‘new’ or ‘n’ will be dropped as a prefix from that
date.) The old MRCGP and the summative assessment package will not exist after 31
July 2008. All doctors commencing training on or after 1 August 2007 will be required
to complete nMRCGP for the issue of a CCT.
However, if you have previously completed SA components (but not all) prior to 1
August 2008, you will be required to complete the appropriate nMRCGP component as
outlined in the 3rd column of the tables in Info Sheet 3. This will complete your
assessment for CCT purposes but will not necessarily lead to the nMRCGP qualification.
To gain nMRCGP you will need to complete ALL components of the new assessment.
