Preparing for the MRCPCH Applied Knowledge in Practice (AKP) exam? This orientation session by Dr. Jabeerah Munir provides a clear and structured overview to help you begin with confidence. The AKP, conducted by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, is a computer-based exam featuring single best answer questions that assess applied clinical knowledge through scenario-based problems, data interpretation, safeguarding, ethics, and guideline-based management. The session highlights key syllabus areas such as general paediatrics, neonatology, emergency care, development, and child protection, while emphasising high-yield topics like sepsis, asthma, neonatal care, and growth assessment. It also shares effective study strategies, including blueprint-focused revision, active question practice, mock exams, and time management techniques, along with common mistakes to avoid, such as passive reading, neglecting safeguarding, and poor exam timing.
