The Courses
Mentor Courses provides invaluable insight from an
experienced course organiser, examiner and programme
director who has run RCGP courses with college
examiners at a national level.

The course has to date helped thousands of trainees
attain the MRCGP and supports hundreds of GP's every
year on their pathway to exam success.

When the Mentor MRCGP preparation course was set
up in 2004, it was with the intention of providing
something different. No crash course agendas, no large
room lectures, no spoon feeding but an emphasis on
practical exam technique in small supportive groups.

Our ethos is simple - to provide a fun, personal course
tailored to your learning needs and costed to always
give trainees value for money.

We are fully aware of the huge expenditure of the
assessment process and aim always at being the most
cost-effective course nationally.

All courses carry automatic approval for deanery
educational re-imbursement. Mentor Courses also runs
nMRCGP workshops for GP VTS schemes. Trainers and
trainees alike are welcome to contact Dr. Giam for
further details.

We value peer support and appreciate that the MRCGP
can be a stressful experience - help is always at hand.
Whether you are sitting the MRCGP for the first time
or as a re-sit - support will always be provided before,
during and after the course.

I wish you all the best in your preparation and look
forward to meeting you on the course!
About Us
Mentor MRCGP Courses
Hello! My name is Nigel Giam and I have been
involved in delivering courses in medical education
since 1998.

I qualified as a GP in 2002 from SLOVTS (Guys and
St Thomas' VTS) having previously worked as
a medical registrar and OSCE/PACES Course Organiser
at St.Thomas'. I currently work as a GP in a teaching
practice in North West London.

I am a Programme Director for the St Mary's VTS and
work as a GP Course Organiser for Kings College
School of Medicine (GKT) and as a Senior Examiner,
Lecturer and Clinical Skills Tutor for all
undergraduate years.

I was the National London RCGP Faculties MRCGP
Course Director from 2003-2007 and have worked
with the AiT committees of both the London Deanery
and the RCGP Faculties to support associates in
training since 2000.

I attained a Distinction in the MRCGP in 2002 and
during my preparation I realised the importance of
practice and peer support in attaining success in the
exam and beyond.

Membership to the RCGP does not stop at the exam -
we strive to help others in not only attaining the
MRCGP but to give an insight into the role of
prospective membership and your career in general
practice.

The value of membership to a body that can support
your continuing educational needs cannot be
underestimated at a time when general practice faces
many uncertainties.

I hope that the MRCGP will bring you interesting
opportunities and challenges.
