The first program

Clinical Practice Essentials: Assessment, Reasoning and Prescribing

Four courses, one program: how to assess, how to reason to a diagnosis, how to recognise the patient who is getting worse, and how to prescribe safely. Each course is a CPD activity in its own right, with its own certificate.

How each course works

Read, practise, then show it.

  • Topics you read in order, each with learning objectives at the top and key points at the end.
  • Short activities inside each topic: predict before you read, quick checks, cases. Instant feedback with the reasoning for every option. Not graded.
  • A short quiz after each group of topics. Pass mark 80%, as many attempts as you need. The next group opens when you pass.
  • A CPD certificate when every part is passed, with a number anyone you show it to can check.

How our CPD works explains how hours, assessment and certificates are worked out.
