Advice & Insight From GP Stage 3 Specialists

GP Stage 3 - The Key Compnents

​The GP Stage 3 exam is made up of three simulated consultations, and one written prioritisation exercise.

Each simulated consultation is 10 minutes in duration, including reading time and calling the patient into the room. Every candidate will have one simulated consultation with a patient, one simulated consultation with a relative and one simulated consultation with a health care professional.

​The written prioritisation exercise is 30 minutes in duration. This involves ranking five time specific tasks, explaining the rationale behind your ranking and reflecting on your work.

Each area is scored from one to four, with four being the best making a maximum total score of 52.
