The RCGP’s Essential Knowledge package is now available. This consists of the Essential Knowledge Update (EKU), a six-monthly update of new and changing knowledge, and the Essential Knowledge Challenge (EKC), a 50 question MCQ assessment based on the update. The package will be available free of charge to RCGP Members and GP registrars as a key benefit of membership. Non-RCGP members will be able to subscribe for an annual subscription of £79.
Each Essential Knowledge Update will provide GPs with a structured learning activity that will enable them to assimilate and apply new and changing knowledge, relevant to their clinical practice, as part of their Continuing Professional Development. EKU 3 has been launched in May 2009 and focuses on new and changing information that had been identified from a search spanning July to December 2008. Pilots EKU 1 and 2 are also available on this website.
