About check
check aims to keep Australian GPs up to date with the most common and most important clinical conditions. While there are many different ways to keep up to date, it is essential for the RACGP to lead in this space, and provide updated, relevant support to GPs in their clinical practice.
check seeks to support all GPs, including trainees and those with specific interests, and is a key resource for exam preparation. As such,
check has a schedule of units that is informed by data on what the most common conditions are in general practice, and is responsive to those parts of general practice that are changing the most rapidly.
How check works
There are 11
check units each year. Each unit comprises approximately five clinical cases, and the choice of cases covers the broad spectrum of the unit’s topic. Each unit is led by a GP with an interest and capability in the topic, and they scope the five different cases for that unit in collaboration with the
check team.
Members achieve approximately 10 CPD hours (two hours per case) for completing a unit of
check. Every clinical case included in each unit will follow an agreed standard format, and will carry two CPD hours (one hour of Educational Activities and one hour of Reviewing Performance). In addition, each
check unit will include one or more suggested topics that meet Measuring Outcomes requirements for CPD.
