About the Hammersmith GPST course

The Hammersmith GPST preparation is comprehensive. You can use the online exams to prepare for GPST Stage 2, and then attend our selector-designed Stage 3 course. However what really sets these courses aside from any other is the quality of the training

The dates for the Stage 3 courses will be in January 2011

"Brillant to be taught by someone who really knows because he's been there! Fantastic course, I have recommended it to my wife!"

Why choose the Hammersmith GPST Stage 3 courses?

This course has been designed with only one aim. To provide comprehensive preparation for the GPST selection process. The course is delivered by an experienced GP who has extensive experience of GPST Stage 3 selection and of supervision of GPST registrars. We do not use "portfolio" GP's, GP registrars, retired GP's or anyone else who cannot deliver what you need. The feedback and success of this course is stunning, and the groups of doctors who attended the most recent courses have been universally delighted with their decision to choose the Hammersmith GPST course. Stage 3: The Stage 3 assessment, The simulated patient encounter and how you are scored, group tasks and how we score you, written prioritisation exercises and how we score you. Real insight into what is marked, and practice sessions where you are marked by the Stage 3 examiner. Practice group discussions and prioritisation, all marked and discussed by the Stage 3 GPST course trainer

All through this fully interactive day you will be taking part in realistic, exam-condition simulations, you can ask any questions and, unlike some other courses, you can have a quiet word with the experienced GPST selector if you have any personal questions you'd rather not share with others. This GPST course is a high quality experience which help you perform to the very best of your ability!

"I actually attended 3 different GPST courses, as I was desperate not to miss a trick. You will be pleased to know that, in my opinion, this course is the best by a long way. I learnt and practiced things on this course that the others seemed to miss. I would like to thank you for an excellent course, which surely helped me secure my London rotation. Thank you"

"Really useful, focussed and practical. Every minute was great and the teacher was inspiring"
