Abstract

From 2024/2025, all UK medical students will sit the Medical Licensing Assessment (MLA),1 a mandated national exam comprising: a written applied knowledge test (AKT) in single best answer (SBA) format; and a clinical and professional skills assessment (CPSA). Here we consider the implications for primary care, and for those involved in teaching primary care to medical undergraduates, including GPs and other primary care professionals.
