What to expect at Stage 3 assessments - overview of the various assessments used in different deaneries in the last few years, and the format for 2012.

Simulated Consultations - communication and consultation skills, role play practice with simulated patients, explaining diagnoses, explaining investigations, breaking bad news, common cases for the simulated consultations, dealing with difficult patients. We will cover all 3 types of consultation - with a patient, with a relative or carer and with a colleague. You will all get to practice this task in small groups, with an individual mock case with professional actors and individual feedback.

Written Prioritisation Exercises - sample tasks with detailed explanations on ranking and how to increase your score. You will all get to practice this task individually, with feedback as a group.

Questions and Answers: There is a dedicated Q and A session where you will be able to ask questions related to the assessments and a 1 to 1 clinic at the end of the day to ask personal questions.

We have helped unemployed doctors, SHOs, consultants, staff grades and F2 doctors get shortlisted and selected for GP training. The latest round of applications (2011) has been another successful one for our delegates with success in EVERY deanery once again. Here is some of the feedback we have had in the past:

"Dear Dr Rahman,
Just a note to say that I have been offered my first choice GP post in the London Deanery after attending your Stage 3 course! The course was a huge help - I have recommended it to all my colleagues for next year. I really would not have performed so well without the expert advice and tips which completely changed my approach to the selection centre. It was definitely money well spent.
Huge thanks"

DR P S - GPST Entry London Deanery 2011

"Dear Dr Rahman,
Thank you so much for all your help. I found both the stage 3 Emedica course and online revision invaluable. I have just accepted an offer for GP training in the London Deanery and I am really pleased."

DR S S - GPST Entry London Deanery 2011

"You were highly recommended by a friend of mine. I could not agree more. I had spent 3 years in another speciality and both your courses helped me gain the required skills to pass both stages of the assessment. The stage 3 assessment course was well organised a MUST. A big thank you to everyone involved."

DR M A - GPST Entry East Midlands Deanery 2011

"I would like to thank you from the depth of my heart for your support and guidance, without attending the course I would not have been able to pass the exam... I am so grateful for you, and highly appreciate the precious effort that you and the rest of the staff have paid.
I have got through, and passed stage 3 exam. Thanks Emedica"

DR S S - GPST Entry 2011

"Dear Dr Rahman, I am delighted to inform you that I have been offered a job in the West Midlands Deanery earlier today.
My experience with Emedica was one day at the stage 3 training course - I must say your course was very well organised and it had a good mix of theory & practical stuff. The thing I liked the most was your simple yet effective techniques for each part of the exam."

DR D P - GPST Entry West Midlands Deanery 2011

"Dear Dr Rahman,
Thank you very much for helping me prepare for my stage 3 assessment. I have been successful by the Grace of God and secured training post in my first choice area in Oxford.
Thank you and best regards."

DR B C - GPST Entry Oxford Deanery 2011

"Dear Dr Rahman,
Firstly I would like to thank you for your assistance; I attended the Stage 3 course and found it particularly helpful, and have recently just found out that I have secured one of my top choice rotations in the Severn Deanery. Thanks again for your help."

DR D P - GPST Entry Severn Deanery 2011

"I was successful in securing my first choice hospital/GP -ST rotation. Undoubtedly, this was in part due to the Emedica courses I attended (3 in total - how to apply, Stage 2 Crammer & Stage 3).However, a key part for me were your witty but wise pearls of wisdom throughout!"

DR M W - GPST Entry 2011

"Dear Emedica
I have been offered a post at my first choice Deanery - London, in Newham. Thank you for your help and advice, the stage 3 prep course was a great help. Thanks again"

DR S J - GPST Entry London Deanery 2011

I just wanted to thank you so much for your help and enthusiasm at the Stage 3 assessment course. It really helped me in preparation for the assessment day and ultimately helped me get my first choice hospital in my first choice Deanery (London). Thanks so much again."

DR E W - GPST Entry London Deanery 2011

"Dear Dr Rahman,
I just wanted to send a short email to thank you & your team at Emedica for running such a fantastic stage 3 courses - I found it invaluable. I attended the course on the 26th February in London, had my stage 3 assessment a few days later and I've been offered a place in the Oxford Deanery on my first choice scheme! I've always been very sceptical of commercial courses but would recommend yours without hesitation."

Dr S A - GP ST Entry London Deanery 2011

"Dear Dr Rahman.
Just a quick note to say thank you for the Emedica course I attended in Birmingham on the 18th Feb - I was fortunate to be chosen to join you at the front for a colleague interview!
I took the stage 3 assessment and have been offered a place not only in my first choice Deanery but within 10 miles of the family home, my first choice geographical choice. Fair to say I'm absolutely chuffed with this, and would like to thank you again for your enthusiasm and tips for the exam - I feel they made a very real difference to my confidence and performance on the day.
Looking forward to the next 3 years, and will definitely use the Emedica system again in the future."

DR D B - GPST Entry 2011

"Dear Dr Rahman and Emedica team.
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you all! I attended your GP stage 3 exam in Birmingham, and in doing so I secured my third choice of rotation in my top Deanery! I really don't think I could have done it without your help! I hope you carry on doing this course to help the budding GPs out there! Keep up the good work!"

DR N K - GPST Entry East Midlands Deanery 2011

"Dear Emedica,
I would just like to say a big thank you to the entire Emedica team for helping me to prepare for the GP stage 3 entry exam. The techniques learned were invaluable, and the course gave a good insight as to how one should prepare for the exam. I have been offered my first choice area and Deanery near my home town. Keep up the good work."

DR V P - GPST Entry 2011

thanks."
DR S C - GPST Entry Mersey Deanery 2011

"Dear Dr Rahman,
I applied for London GP training and got my 2nd choice job, which will be in Tower Hamlets. I couldn't be happier and would like to extend a big thank you to you and the rest of the Emedica team! I attended both stage 2&3 courses. Stage 2 course provided a great overview -I especially liked the emphasis you placed on filling in the application form correctly .in the stage 3 course the chance to practice simulations with angry / sad actors was invaluable.
Many thanks"

DR N A - GPST London Entry 2011

"Dear Dr Rahman and Emedica team,
Just a quick note to say I passed the Stage 3 assessment and got into the St Mary's training scheme in London which I am delighted about. The courses I went to (Stage 2 and 3 preparation) were absolutely brilliant and I have no doubt they contributed a huge amount to my success.
The whole thing was a great experience and I thank you all once again. Best regards."

DR C B - GPST London Entry 2011

"The courses helped get an idea as to what was expected in the exam. My preparation for the exam was more focused after attending the courses at Emedica. Also the Stage 3 course with the actors was very helpful. The feedback given to me was very helpful. Thanks"

DR S U - GPST Entry West Midlands Deanery 2011


Emedica was incredibly helpful. The advice and practice I gained through the various courses and online revision meant I felt confident I knew exactly what I was facing and how to perform to the best of my abilities. I was offered a training post in my first choice Deanery at my first choice hospital - a great relief! Dr J T - GP ST Entry London Deanery 2010

"Excellent course. The speaker was very inspiring, enthusiastic and motivating. Very entertaining and enjoyable to listen to. Really enjoyed the format of having the group work then the lecture based advice afterwards, made it very easy to remember tips having just been through it. It really is the best course I've been on - worth every penny! I went on another course and they were unable to give constructive feedback - when people made obvious mistakes they just glossed over it. I really valued the way that you were able to give constructive criticism."

"Dear Dr Rahman and everybody at Emedica
Just would like to thank you all for your help in getting me a place in GP training. Firstly, I was pleased that I had been placed in Band 4 in both papers of the GP selection exam. Then, yesterday, I discovered that I have been accepted to Wales Deanery, to my first choice rotation. I am absolutely thrilled.
I have no doubt that your courses played a very important part in helping me to get the placement that I wanted. Your courses were all well organised, well presented, relevant, concise, and with endless amounts of enthusiasm from all involved. I would not hesitate a second in recommending all of your GPST/GPVTS entry courses to any doctor wishing to succeed in the selection process.
Thanks again." Dr S A - Wales Deanery 2010

"Just wanted to tell you a BIG THANK YOU!!! I ve received an email yesterday regarding my success at the GP Interview .I am overjoyed and extremely grateful to emedica for helping me get my 1st Choice (mersey deanery) :) I would Definitely recommend the course to everyone who enjoyed a career in GP Practice!!
Both the Stage 2 Crammer and especially the Stage 3 Preparation Course were Brilliant !!
Wishing you many more successes as you continue to inspire more doctors and help them achieve a career in General Practice!
Best wishes" Dr D S - Mersey Deanery 2010

"I am happy to inform you that I have got a place in my first choice Deanery.
Thank you very much for your excellent teaching." Dr V O - Wales Deanery 2010

"Excellent course. Great to practise all the different stations with useful feedback from peers and course leaders. I feel that I now know what to expect on the day and am much more confident about how to tackle each exercise."

"Excellent insight into what examiners would be looking for."

"Really liked the opportunity to practice scenarios. Covered all aspects in adequate detail. Staff approachable and extremely informative of complex process."

"I valued being able to practice with specific constructive feedback and really get to grips with the important points regarding mark schemes."

"I am very happy to tell you that I have been offered a 3 year VTS in the Eastern deanery. I would like to thank you and your team for running the "Getting into GP training" courses (both the general and stage 3 assessment). They helped me understand what was required and how to prepare, and so made a significant difference to my performance on the day. God bless you for the work that you do."

"May I extend a huge THANK YOU to you for the great advice and experience that the Stage 3 course offered me. I have secured a 3 year rotation in the North West and even got my first choice of hospital placement following the Stage 3 assessment day!
I have been a Staff Grade in Anaesthetics for the last 18 months and wanted a career change but was apprehensive about the application process into GP training. You dispelled all my fears and I found your e-learning and the Stage 3 course an invaluable resource.
Good Luck with the future and many thanks again for giving me the tools to get a training post."

"This is an email to inform you that I got a place in Northern Ireland on the GP training scheme - my first choice deanery. Thank you so much for the work you do with Emedica - it was so much help and made me more confident and reassured on the day of the assessments. I will certainly be recommending your course to my friends and colleagues who wish to secure a place on the scheme. Thank you so much again! "

"Just wanted to let you know that I was offered a training post for ST1 VTS in West Midlands at Walsall (my first choice!) today. I attended both of your courses earlier in the year and found them to be invaluable. Many thanks to you and your team"

"I attended one of you GP ST selection days in Birmingham earlier on in the year. I found it very informative, and helped reduce a lot of uncertainty. I've now been offered an ST1 appointment in my first choice deanery (Eastern). Many thanks for your help, I would have no hesitation in recommending your course."
