SJT Preparation Tips

Success in the Irish GP SJT comes from applying professional judgement, not memorising answers. Every question is designed to assess whether you think like a safe GP.

Think Like a GP

Before choosing an answer, ask yourself:

  • Is the patient safe?
  • Am I acting professionally?
  • Am I working within my competence?
  • Should I seek senior advice?
  • Am I communicating respectfully?

Exam Pearl: The safest and most professional response usually scores highest.

High-Yield Tips

✅ Patient safety always comes first.

✅ Work within your competence.

✅ Communicate before escalating, unless immediate patient safety is at risk.

✅ Escalate early when safety, professionalism, or ethics are compromised.

✅ Be honest, respectful, and accountable.
