Feedback from our Courses
Thank you from Ipswich!
'As one of eight doctors from Ipswich Hospital to attend the PassPACES Course, I just wanted to pass on my thanks for a fantastic course. The patients were amazing; not only having superb clinical signs, but also pointing us in the right direction should we be struggling!
The clinical lecturers taught enthusiastically, with a good sense of humour; the mock exam and the way the lecturers responded during the mock was extremely relevant and useful for the actual exam. The feedback we were given during the course reflected the style of the exam marking system and was invaluable for improving any "weak" spots.
It was a 100% pass rate for the Ipswich group who all attended the PassPACES Course - all of us "first timers" - thank you so much for helping us to achieve this.'
Dr. Johanne Brooks, MRCP, Ipswich, UK
Dear Dr Bessant and the PassPACES team,
I just want to say thank you so much for a fantastic course. I passed first time and was amazed and absolutely delighted to score 172/172! I definitely could not have achieved that mark without attending the course: the teaching was really outstanding and we were exposed to so many patients with such excellent signs. I expected that the course might feel rather intimidating but the lecturers were enthusiastic, supportive and provided very helpful feedback. The course gave me the confidence and the structure to approach more complex cases (particularly neurology) and 'work things out' in a logical way.
Thank you for a really enjoyable and inspiring 4 days! I have already recommended the course to my colleagues and will continue to do so!

‘I would like to thank you for your excellent course. The high quality lectures I received and the wide variety of patients I encountered during the PassPACES Course really made all the difference.
Taking your course 2 months prior to my exam made me realize the amount of work I needed to put in and it certainly paid off, as I was able to optimize the planning of my revision.
I have been successful in passing my PACES with a score of 165/172 on my first attempt. I believe that I would not have achieved such a high score if it wasn't for this course. Thank you once again!’
Dr Edward Chong, MRCP, Sheffield, UK.
