4-day MRCP PACES Clinical Courses


  • 'First, and probably the most important benefit of this course, is the sheer number of patients you get to see across the four days. Easily in excess of 100. Every patient offered incredible learning, with both the common and rarer conditions appearing...  It is, hands down, the best postgraduate clinical learning I have ever had.'

  • 'Teaching: all of the lecturers are brilliant educators with a really clear and structured approach to thinking about clinical examination and the exam. Every single one of them taught me a great deal and I feel very lucky to have learnt from them on the course.'

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.'

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 did the MRCP Ireland exam and I wanted to let you know that I passed with a score of 86/88!
I attended one of the earlier courses in May this year and sat my exam at the end of June. Attending an earlier course consolidated the information I learnt and gave me plenty of time to work on my weaker areas.  It was also the perfect preparation especially when based in a more regional hospital without formal teaching.

The mix of cases, along with the incredible calibre of tutors was amazing. Plus, I had seen all the cases I encountered in my exam during the days at the PassPACES course.
Thank you all so much again!"


Dr Rachel Byrne, MRCPI,

Midland Regional Hospital, Tullamore
