Product Information

That was the advice I was given when I started out preparing for my MRCP PACES – by a very experienced examiner. There’s a decent chance that if you have a sound ability to diagnose these conditions then you’ll clear PACES entirely.

However they are not the only region with a distinctive accent and other regions such as Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester, and the South-West of England have very different accents. 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. I’m sure that if you’ve got as far as entering PACES you’ll have seen patients with pneumonia come into hospital.There are a bunch of things that are common in real life, but uncommon in MRCP PACES due to selection bias. com doesn’t have any material hosted on the server of this page, only links to books that are taken from other sites on the web are published and these links are unrelated to the book server. Glasgow, for example, is notorious among doctors from the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent due to patients’ regional Scottish accent.

Read our Exam Insights blog for a wrap-up of recent MRCP PACES exams or our Complete Guide for all you need to know about the MRCP PACES Exam. It can give rise to bronchial breathing, crepitations in the chest or even a parapneumonic effusion – all great clinical signs.

The MRCP(UK) 2020 Annual Report disclosed that 'Identifying Physical Signs' had the lowest pass rate; to address this, our resource will improve your ability to recognise clinical signs, including scars, respiratory sounds, heart sounds, and distinctive gaits. It’s the sort of thing all medical doctors will definitely encounter repeatedly before they even get close to taking their MRCP PACES. The examiners will change from one exam diet to the next and hence one candidate’s experience of the exam in the previous diet will not be directly relevant to future experiences. 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. The following set of informative videos outlines the new 10-minute communication encounters and 20-minute clinical consultations within PACES23.But we can tell you exactly which cases come up most commonly in MRCP PACES, based on the most comprehensive survey ever conducted of previous candidates. If you have insight into this selection bias you can use it to more effectively target your revision.

We still want you to have a great chance to clear your exam, though – so we’re proud to present a “Top Twenty” conditions to ensure you get adequate curriculum coverage.On this page there is a comprehensive range of resources for candidates and examiners to ensure that they are prepared for the new format of PACES (PACES23).
