Prescribing Safety Assessment (PSA) Course and Mock Exam

The Prescribing Safety Assessment (PSA) is one of the key exams you need to pass during your final year as a medical student to be able to prescribe as a foundation year doctor. It is also a simple exam to pass if well prepared.

We have put together an online 1-day course run by 2 doctors who also have degrees in pharmacy, along with a general practice clinical pharmacist. During our course, we will run through the various sections of the PSA, including the different styles of questions, along with tips and tricks in how to find almost anything in the online BNF in a quick and easy manner. There will also be a mock exam in the afternoon.

This year we have partnered with MedAll to run the course through their platform.

Early bird places are £49, if registered before December 8th 2023, and then £74 thereafter. There is a 20% discount if registered in multiples of 5. Unfortunately, there are limited spaces available due to online room limits. You will also receive a certificate of attendance for your portfolio, along with a money back guarantee if you do not pass the PSA after attending this course.

There are also 10 tickets on sale for those who would like an additional hour of one-on-one teaching with one of our doctors after the PSA exam on any other aspects of medicine, OSCE training or applying for foundation year posts. This is at a huge discount compared to our normal one-on-one sessions, and will be available on a first come first served basis. The hour sessions will be available on specific weekends and evenings during February, March and April and will be accommodated as best as possible. Once purchased, we will require information pre-session to prepare for your personalised teaching.

The PSA course will run on Saturday 13th January 2024 from 9am-4.30pm.
