The MRCP examination is constantly changing, reflecting the
changing pressures on doctors in training. Whilst the MRCP PACES
examination has evolved with the times, the core ethos of it, to
act as a benchmark for sound clinical examination, logical
diagnostic ability, common sense and most importantly, the
development of compassionate and ethical physicians has remained
unchanged.Whilst this exam has often struck fear into the hearts of
junior doctors, we believe it is an assessment of progression
during a physician's training that should be relished as an
opportunity to demonstrate these ageless qualities that caring
practitioners should possess.This book was born out of the
philosophy that all doctors sitting their MRCP PACES already have
the knowledge and skill to pass the exam, but just require guidance
in the correct logical approach that the Royal College is looking
for.The book has, therefore, quite unlike other MRCP PACES books,
avoided any attempts at being a definitive text. Rather, it has
focused on the key aspects that the authors believe are required to
pass the examination, in particular focus on presentation style.
Whilst medicine is indeed an ocean, the most commonly examined
topics have been selected to reflect the likely scenarios a
candidate will face - as the old adage goes - 'common things occur
commonly'.In producing this book, extensive feedback was sought
from candidates revising for the examination to reflect their
needs. The layout therefore involves a methodical approach with a
short introduction, similar to that presented in the exam, followed
by clinical findings expected to be found. An example of
presentation style has then been produced to allow the candidate to
rehearse and practice this essential component of the exam.Doctors
preparing for the exam have limited time due to busy work
schedules. Therefore, summary books are key for candidates sitting
the MRP PACES examination.Most PACES candidates fail the exam based
on history and communication stations.Therefore, attention has been
paid to:
