- 2Patient-centred language; treats as individuals
Learn how patient-centred communication improves care and trust. This course explores strategies to use clear, respectful, and inclusive language with patients and colleagues. You’ll examine GMC guidance on communication, equality, and professionalism, alongside practical approaches to avoid jargon, stigma, and assumptions, ensuring every interaction supports understanding, engagement, and safety.
- 3Statistics for AKT
Most AKT statistics courses are taught by GPs who use statistics. This course is taught by a Medical Statistics Professor who teaches, designs, and analyses them. That difference matters. You’ll learn statistics from first principles, explained clearly and clinically, so you understand why answers are correct — not just how to memorise them. Concepts are broken down logically, common traps are highlighted, and exam-style questions are tackled with the depth the AKT actually tests.
- 4Accepts Uncertainty; Flexible to Change_RankingThis quiz explores your ability to stay calm, adaptable, and effective when faced with uncertainty or unexpected developments in clinical and workplace settings. You’ll encounter scenarios where established plans no longer work, outcomes are unpredictable, or conflicting information arises.

- 5Patient-Centred; Treats as Individuals_RankingThis quiz assesses your ability to recognise each patient as a unique individual and to provide care that reflects their personal values, preferences, and circumstances.

- 6Patient-Centred; Treats as Individuals_SelectionThis quiz assesses your ability to recognise and respect each patient as a unique individual with their own values, preferences, and circumstances.
