Pre-reg stage 2 survival guide: Change of assessor

Completion of all the elements and sign off from stage 1 means stage 2 and time for a new assessor. This is much more like a traditional examination process. The College will inform you of a date and time for the four-hour assessment, typically some four to six weeks after completion of the stage 1 process sign off.

The assessment takes place in your practice so your supervisor should make the process known to all staff so that on the day there are no mishaps such as your consulting room being accidentally booked or reception staff sending the stage 2 patient away as they are not in the appointment book.
