AKT MUST be taken before ST3

The TPDs have been banging on, for nearly ever it seems, that trainees need to have taken AKT before they enter their last year of GP training. But I am not sure the message is getting through. At the last two introductory sessions there were still trainees who were under the impression that it is OK to do the AKT in ST3

It is not.

Waiting till ST3 to do the AKT puts loads and loads of pressure on you to pass AKT and CSA in the same year. You will be much more successful if you have already taken it (and hopefully passed) before you enter ST3.

So you have been told, again ......
