The Simulated Consultation Assessment (SCA) is a permanent replacement for the Remote Consultation Assessment (RCA). The RCA was a temporary examination brought in during to the COVID-19 pandemic to replace the Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA). The SCA needed to be fit for purpose, reflective of real-life general practice, and be able to objectively measure the skills required for competent consulting.
