MRCP PACES Intensive Courses (2 days) London
We have introduced 2-day intensive weekend courses that cover the essentials of each PACES station and include a Mock Examination.
Focussed teaching will be provided by expert tutors for all the Clinical stations (Neurology, Cardiology, Respiratory and Abdomen), for the Clinical Consultations and for Communication Skills.
Approximately 50 patients with exceptional clinical signs will be reviewed by candidates during these two days.
These 2-day weekend courses will help to ensure that all candidates can arrange the leave required to attend a PassPACES Course.
MRCP PACES Comprehensive Clinical Courses (4 days) London
Since 2007 the outstanding team of highly experienced lecturers at PassPACES 'almost legendary' 4 day courses have helped over 14,000 candidates prepare for PACES.
Course Format and Content
- Typically 90-100 patients with exceptional clinical signs reviewed over 4 days.
- Every PACES station covered in detail.
- The format and content of the PassPACES courses has been fully updated to reflect the new PACES23 examination format (
PACES | The Federation), with an emphasis on the new Consultation Stations (2 and 5).
PACES Course timetable
Courses typically commence between 8.00 and 8.30am and finish at 5.00pm to permit an extra hour of teaching on each of the first three days.
Teaching on these three days comprises four clinical sessions, each lasting one hour and 45 minutes, and includes demonstrations of clinical examination techniques relevant to that day's clinical sessions, e.g. Neurology and Ophthalmology on Day 1, Abdomen on Day 2 and Cardiology on Day 3.
Clinical stations involve structured bedside teaching with emphasis on technique and presentation.
Teaching takes place in small groups.
Mock Examination
On Day 4 each candidate will be given a Mock Examination which will comprise a 40 minute Clinical assessment on a 1 to 1 basis, covering the four main clinical stations (Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Abdomen and Neurology), followed by individual feedback.
Candidates will also be given Clinical Consultation (Stations 2 and 5) and Communication Skills (Stations 1 and 4) Mock Examinations.
Our PACES courses have regularly been held at Professional Education Centres at Guy's Campus and University College Hospital in London.
In May / June 2026 we are holding all our courses at the Novotel London West.
