What you will cover inside this diploma:
The 50 most common presentations in UK primary care - cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, dermatological, ENT and ophthalmological conditions, diagnosed and managed step by step.
Chronic disease management using a structured, holistic approach - diabetes, hypertension, asthma, COPD, heart failure, hypothyroidism, chronic kidney disease and more.
NICE guideline-aligned prescribing and investigation selection, with practical frameworks for safe and rational clinical decision-making at every consultation.
The Calgary-Cambridge consultation model, safety-netting strategies, red flag recognition and the communication skills that separate a good doctor from a great one.
Paediatrics, women's health, mental health, elderly care and minor procedures in primary care - the complete life-course approach to general practice.
MRCGP AKT and RCA/CSA preparation, with exam-focused teaching that links clinical knowledge directly to what assessors are looking for.

You will gain the confidence to walk into any consultation, manage undifferentiated presentations, recognise the conditions you must never miss, and communicate with patients in the way that builds trust, satisfaction and outcomes.
