Product Information

Then we’ll move onto rare conditions that are disproportionately likely to appear in the MRCP PACES exam. The Pastest PACES videos are really fantastic, especially the Neurology & BCC ones. The pdf discussions also greatly helped during revision. Practising the stations gave me great confidence to complete in the specified time. I strongly recommend Pastest to anyone who wishes to clear MRCP PACES with a good score. All the people involved have done a great job.

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.

Improve your ability to recognise clinical signs with our large bank of images, with sections including Skin, Fundoscopy, Gait/Neurology and more Facebook is full of such questions – you really don’t need to look far on the discussion groups there to find examples of this. 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. 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). And we’ve tallied and aggregated them for you here to provide the ultimate overview of MRCP PACES cases. Stations one and three

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. Cover all these “Top Ten’s” in detail and you’ll have covered a disproportionately large chunk of the curriculum. There’s a decent chance that if you have a sound ability to diagnose these conditions then you’ll clear PACES entirely..Our PACES subscription contains a variety of cases for each PACES station. The layout of the stations and the subject matter simulates the real exam allowing you to revise for a clinical exam online. As well as clinical videos our PACES preparation resource contains a variety of resources which help you to gain the theoretical knowledge needed to pass PACES. These include MRCP PACES tips for each station, role-play material which enables you to replicate the cases in each station, and MRCP PACES podcasts. That’s a lot of work. Which is why your fees are so high, even though the examiners are unpaid volunteers.

PACES needs proper practice of the cases which are often given in the examination. Pastest's material provides enough resources and methodology to practice the same. I am sure, with the help of these materials, passing PACES is easy.We’ve listed the ten most common cases for all of respiratory, abdominal, neurology and cardiology. Listen on the go to candidates presenting their examination findings, and case critiques provided by examiners 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. Prepare for the PACES exam with over 340 hi-res, ‘gold standard’ PACES examination videos showing best-practice from model exam candidates 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.

It is completely understandable to try to find out other people’s previous experiences of a specific exam centre, or other exams. These patients are not coming to your exam. Get real. There is no way an acutely unwell patient who could deteriorate at any time is being brought into your PACES exam to be prodded and poked. You are better off spending your time practising your examination skills, practising history and communication scenarios and making sure that you have covered the entire curriculum. We wanted to create the most accurate summary in existence of what cases can come up in MRCP PACES.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.
