Search "ARCP preparation GP trainee" — the results are deanery PDFs and WellMedic. Search "OOP GP trainee" — almost nothing practical. Search "LTFT ARCP requirements" — fragmented regional guidance. This is the biggest content gap in GP trainee resources.
Why the Gap Exists
Exam tool companies (MedTutor, SCA Revision, Clinitalk, Passmedicine, Pastest) produce content about their products — SCA preparation, AKT revision, consultation skills. They have no commercial incentive to write about ARCP checklists, portfolio management, OOP processes, or career transition planning.
Deaneries produce local guidance documents — but they are bureaucratic PDFs, not practical guides with examples and timelines.
The RCGP produces curriculum and assessment framework documents — but not the practical "how to actually do this" content trainees need.
What Trainees Actually Need
Practical guides with worked examples. Checklists with timelines. Honest discussion of common pitfalls. Career decision frameworks. Content that treats trainees as adults making complex decisions, not students following instructions.
Who Benefits
Every GP trainee — 3,000+ enter training annually in the UK. Not just those buying exam tools. The content has long shelf life (updates annually, not daily), low competition, and high search intent.
Where iatroX Fits
iatroX covers the full GP trainee journey — not just exams. The blog and career navigation content address ARCP, portfolio, career transition, and clinical AI governance because no one else does. This is a deliberate strategic choice that serves trainees and builds authority simultaneously.
