Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) · Historical RCA outline: official Candidate Case Guidance reviewed 10 December 2020, changes effective from the September 2021 diet, and RCA Policy last revised 18 January 2023; corroborated by the MRCGP Annual Report 2022/23. The RCA concluded in September 2023 and was replaced by the Simulated Consultation Assessment (SCA) in November 2023. As checked on 2026-10-10, the assigned workbook label identifies a historical examination, not a current RCA sitting or an alias for the SCA. The assigned RCA slug is preserved; the SCA blueprint is not substituted.

This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
