About this deal

Now in full colour, it features new case material, updated content on ethics and law, and revised brief clinical consultations that better reflect the current exam. Cases for PACES also includes hints and tips for preparing for the exam, and what to expect on the day.

What you could get is bronchiectasis as a complication of a previous severe pneumonia. Even though that is less common in day to day hospital medicine, it is more likely to come up in an exam. We wanted to create the most accurate summary in existence of what cases can come up in MRCP PACES. Demonstrations on how to examine real patients with evident clinical signs really helped. Also I love how many cases of the same disease were demonstrated just to show the spectrum of a disease's presentation.

It’s also not very likely to come up. The patient’s clinical signs would be expected to have recovered in between being recruited and the exam day. View patients through the eyes of an exam candidate with clear, close-up clinical signs and on-screen palpation findings

It is completely understandable to try to find out other people’s previous experiences of a specific exam centre, or other exams. Then we’ll move onto rare conditions that are disproportionately likely to appear in the MRCP PACES exam. The MRCP PACES exam consists of a ‘carousel’ containing five clinical stations. Each station is 20 minutes long and there is a 5 minute interval between stations. Two independent examiners oversee each PACES station where there is a patient with a given condition, or a surrogate patient. If you spend your time trying to find out information about a specific centre that is time spent away from practising your clinical skills. Trying to find out other candidates’ experiences from two years ago will be extremely unlikely to help you pass. If you are not a UK native, then you should watch some videos online to familiarise yourself with the regional accents. A lot of non-UK born candidates struggle with the regional accents that are within the UK.

PACES Core Skills

We’ve listed the ten most common cases for all of respiratory, abdominal, neurology and cardiology. Watch this sample case video which follows the new PACES 2023 exam format, due to be introduced in 2023/3. It might be a good idea to look at the hospital online and see if they have specialist clinics or are a centre of excellence for a certain condition. We can’t promise that these will come up – but know these conditions inside out and you’ll have taken the most rational approach possible to your preparation and placed the odds on your side. Station five Get 24/7 access to 125 patient examination videos and a wealth of essential MRCP PACES revision resources - all for a fraction of the price of a face-to-face course!

There are a bunch of clinical conditions which are super-stable over time. They’re often quite uncommon or rare in clinical practice, but over-representated in the MRCP PACES exam. If you understand how MRCP PACES is organised, you gain an insight into why certain clinical cases are much more likelyto come up than others. Like it? Love it? Why not help out your colleagues by sharing this post? Just use the share buttons in the popup or on the side of your screen.MRCP PACES (Practical Assessment of Clinical Examination Skills) is a clinical exam testing clinical knowledge and skills of doctors hoping to begin higher specialist training (ST3). You’ll need to familiarise yourself with this kind of thing before exam day. That’s ultimately why MRCP PACES courses might have a role to play in your exam preparation – they provide you with access to the same sort of patients that you might not see on the wards. I’m sure that if you’ve got as far as entering PACES you’ll have seen patients with pneumonia come into hospital. That’s a lot of work. Which is why your fees are so high, even though the examiners are unpaid volunteers. In fact, there’s a good chance none of these things will present on your wards at all between you applying for MRCP PACES and turning up for your exam.
