Hi all,
For those who don't know me, I've been a GP Trainer for over 20 years and a Training Programme Director for 17.
For the past year or so I've been running SCA sessions for trainees, free, mostly because people kept asking. We've worked through a lot of cases in that time and helped a fair number of people through, including several who were on their third or fourth attempt and had more or less given up on themselves.
I've now put 21 hours of that teaching in one place, including a six hour masterclass. Six sessions in total, 25 cases attempted by real trainees, marked out loud, then demonstrated properly so you can hear the difference between a fail and a pass in the same consultation.
It isn't a case bank. There are plenty of those and I don't think they're the problem. The problem I see constantly is trainees doing hundreds of cases without ever changing their technique. Most of what's in here is the technique underneath: when to stop gathering, how to structure the management, how to explain a risk score so the patient actually follows it, what to say when you genuinely don't know the answer.
It's a one-off payment for lifetime access, and I should be upfront that it's a paid product, so treat this as a plug. Most of it works as audio if you'd rather listen on the commute.
