GP training spans 3+ years and three major exams. Your revision toolkit should evolve — not restart from scratch at each stage.
MSRA Stage (Pre-Training)
Focus: Broad clinical knowledge + SJT professional judgement.
Tools: Emedica/Passmedicine MSRA bank (stage-specific). iatroX adaptive quiz for clinical knowledge (carries forward). BNF and NICE CKS (carry forward).
ST1-ST2: AKT Preparation
Focus: GP-specific clinical knowledge + EBP + organisational domains.
Transition: Drop MSRA-specific banks. Add Passmedicine AKT or Pastest as primary Q-bank. Continue iatroX adaptive quiz — switch to AKT curriculum mapping. The clinical knowledge built during MSRA directly transfers.
New tools: FourteenFish (from ST1 day one — carries through to CCT). GPnotebook for daily clinical reference. AMBOSS if in hospital posts (useful for ST1, less relevant later).
ST3: SCA Preparation
Focus: Consultation skills + applied clinical knowledge.
Transition: Add SCA-specific tools (SCA Revision, MedTutor AI, Clinitalk). Continue iatroX for clinical knowledge maintenance. AKT Q-bank may continue if AKT not yet passed.
New tools: Clinitalk (SCA and beyond — useful post-CCT too). Heidi/Accurx/Tortus for documentation efficiency.
Tools That Carry Across All Stages
iatroX — adaptive, multi-curriculum, spans MSRA through AKT through SCA knowledge consolidation. CKS/BNF — essential throughout. FourteenFish — from ST1 to CCT. GPnotebook — daily reference throughout.
Cost Optimisation
Do not buy AKT banks during MSRA stage — your clinical foundation transfers but the curriculum mapping does not. Do not buy SCA tools during ST1 — you are not consulting independently yet. Buy stage-appropriate tools and carry forward the platforms that span stages.
Where iatroX Fits
iatroX is the one platform that spans the entire GP training journey — from MSRA clinical paper through AKT revision to SCA knowledge consolidation, all on the same adaptive engine. Free throughout.
