DescriptionBuilding on their experience of running face to face and virtual AKT Preparation courses for Trainees and Trainers, Neal Maskrey and Nick Price will guide you through how GP trainers can help support AKT candidates. This workshop will use a combination of group discussion on Zoom and self direct use of online resources. This will include the opportunity to go through a Mock AKT paper, reflect on key resources, and access to a range of video, powerpoint and workbooks on Evidence Based Medicine. We will also consider the range of support offered by HEEYH locally and regionally, including the importance of neurodiversity.

Aims

To help Trainers identify how they might best support trainees prepare for the AKT exam, particularly for those trainees for whom this exam is a major challenge.

Objectives
  • To share experiences of trainees who have struggled with the AKT.
  • To understand the depth and breadth of the AKT. Identify key learning resources and learning strategies that will help trainees prepare for the exam efficiently and effectively.
  • Consider how trainers and training practices can support trainees who face a particular challenge to succeed with the AKT.
  • Consider the role of the range of support now offered by HEEYH to support trainees, including neurodiverse trainees.
Learning outcomes

We hope you will find ways to support trainees and help them to succeed with AKT, reducing the associated stresses for them (and for you).
