Naturally Occuring What? Is That Earthquakes and Stuff?

 

No, that's naturally occuring phenomena. Naturally occuring evidence is a term for a group of things like audit, significant event analysis etc, which do not easily fit into the other assessment tools. They are things that GPs "naturally" do in their professional lives (the extent of which varies from GP to GP, but that's not the point).

 

Naturally occurring evidence should also be recorded in your ePortfolio as further evidence of your professional development.

 

 

 

Do I Have To Do These?

 

No, none of these are essential for getting the nMRCGP. HOWEVER, in Yorkshire (and this varies with different Deaneries), all trainees must be exposed to audit, significant event analyses and referrals analysis.

 

For that reason, we give you more guidance on each of these. Click on one of them in the left hand navigation panel.

 

 

 

Can You Give Us Some More Specific Advise?

 

Yeah, sure..... look at the left hand sub-menu above for specific guidance on audits, projects, referrals and significant events.

 

The links will guide you how to go about them as well as providing some handy tools to help you. Please remember that there are other types of "naturally occuring evidence" that are not listed here but can be submitted towards the nMRCGP. Further details on the RCGP website www.rcgp.org.uk .
