Yes. SCA Revision is an online SCA preparation platform and qualifies under the GP0001 code as an SCA preparation course.

Eligibility

NHSE guidance does not distinguish between in-person courses and online platforms, or between specific providers. SCA Revision is explicitly an SCA preparation tool — its entire purpose is preparing GP trainees for the SCA exam.

Cost

Standard: £11.99/month. Premium: £15.99/month (adds consultation videos). Even 12 months of Premium subscription (£191.88) falls well within the £600 cap.

Process

Confirm with your educational supervisor and TPD before subscribing. Subscribe and retain receipt. Submit receipt to deanery finance team for reimbursement. Some deaneries reimburse retrospectively; others require pre-approval — check your local process.

Key Consideration

This uses your one SCA preparation claim. You cannot also claim Clinitalk, MedTutor AI, or Emedica SCA on the same budget line. Choose the tool that addresses your biggest SCA weakness.

Workaround

Some trainees claim one tool on study budget and pay for a second out of pocket. Or use free alternatives (iatroX, RCGP Consultation Toolkit, peer practice) alongside their funded tool.

Where iatroX Fits

Use your study budget for SCA Revision (or whichever SCA tool you choose) and use iatroX alongside it for free — clinical knowledge consolidation that never competes with your budget allocation.
