They are essentially the same exam except the RCA is assessed using consultation recordings (both audio and visual) you submit during a designated submission window. It can be &#8216;sat&#8217; only during ST3 and it&#8217;s best approached once you are experienced seeing patients and confident holding succinct GP consultations, but nothing stops you preparing early on. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourteenfish.com\/consult\">FourteenFish<\/a> website has a consultation area that&#8217;s helpful for this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourteenfish.com\/consult\">Consult &#8211; FourteenFish<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">There are multiple courses available for this which are entirely optional.
