CCP-AGM + MRCP PORTFOLIO PROGRAMME

The CCP Acute & General Medicine MRCP Portfolio Programme is a structured training and professional development programme designed for non-training doctors who wish to progress towards registrar-level practice and future consultant roles within the NHS.

This programme integrates structured clinical teaching, MRCP preparation, and comprehensive portfolio development aligned with Core Medical Training competencies.

The programme consists of three core components:

1. CCP-AGM Certification (Acute & General Medicine)  

2. Comprehensive MRCP Preparation (Part 1, Part 2 & PACES)  

3. Verifiable Clinical Portfolio Development

Together, these components provide a structured framework for doctors to develop clinical knowledge, practical skills, teaching experience, leadership abilities, and documented competencies required for career progression in Acute and General Medicine as a registrar and potentially as a consultant in the NHS UK.

The Certificate of Completion of Programme in Acute & General Medicine (CCP-AGM) certifies that a doctor has completed a structured two-year training programme in Acute and General Medicine.

The programme includes 240–250+ hours of consultant-led teaching covering the full Core Medical Training (IMT 1–3) curriculum taught to UK trainees during NHS clinical training.

This structured programme is designed to support doctors in developing the knowledge, clinical reasoning, and professional competencies required to progress towards registrar-level responsibilities.

1. Comprehensive Clinical Medicine Teaching

The programme includes modular teaching covering all major medical specialties, including:

• Cardiovascular Medicine  

• Respiratory Medicine  

• Neurology  

• Gastroenterology  

• Renal Medicine  

• Haematology & Oncology  

• Hepatobiliary Medicine  

• Infectious Diseases  

• Rheumatology  

• Geriatrics

All teaching sessions are delivered by senior NHS consultants specialising in their respective fields.

In addition to clinical training, the programme focuses on professional development. Doctors are given opportunities to:

MRCP – Second Component of CCP Acute & General Medicine Programme

MRCP teaching is fully integrated into the CCP Acute & General Medicine training programme, providing comprehensive preparation for:

• MRCP Part 1  

• MRCP Part 2  

• MRCP PACES

The programme is supervised and delivered by NHS UK consultants.

Timeline Structure

• First 6 months → MRCP Part 1 preparation  

• Second half of Year 1 → MRCP Part 2 preparation  

• Final 6–12 months → MRCP PACES preparation

By the end of the two-year programme, trainees are expected to have completed MRCP Part 1 and Part 2 and be ready to attempt MRCP PACES.

The MRCP completion timeline may vary depending on PACES exam seat availability; however, this does not delay CCP completion.

All trainees who successfully complete the programme will be awarded CCP-AGM Certification.
