“The most effective MRCP PACES exam preparation courses – right in the heart of London.
Successfully run since 2022 with every course sold out, Intelligent PACES focuses on high-intensity courses with no more than 2 candidates per patient and a concentrated teaching day.”
1-Day In-Person Clinical Skills Course
Official winner – “Best Intensive PACES Exam Preparation Course” (Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Awards 2025)
An intensive in-person course at Barts Heart Centre, run in real clinic rooms that recreate the exact flow and pressure of exam day. Every patient is paired with an instructor, so you maximise your chances to examine, present, and have your PACES technique properly assessed.
- Covers every clinical station, including practice of the new “Consultation” station
- Mock PACES exam included on the day
- Only 2 candidates per patient with 1 expert examiner at every bedside – a unique teaching ratio in the UK, and the reason our candidates achieve one of the highest pass rates
- Real patients only (no actors) – typically 16–20 carefully selected cases from top teaching hospitals, many of whom have featured in real PACES exams
- Taught by highly experienced, enthusiastic PACES instructors — including speakers from our free revision talks
- Authentic exam environment in custom clinic rooms at Barts Heart Centre
- Food, refreshments, and a comprehensive course handbook included
- Strict limit of 64 candidates to protect teaching quality – our courses universally sell out and we never open new places after this
