Each series of 5 MRCP PACES Training Evenings will be hosted by experinced PACES examiners in the College, and dates will tie in with each of the three PACES examinations diets. The events will also be video linked to centres throughout the UK and further afield. The aim is to help candidates understand what is required of them in PACES and to assist with their preperations. A "live" demonstration of each of the 5 stations in PACES will be held, over one hour each, in the lecture theatre - using a patient and a candidate with two examiners. Each event will demonstrate:

• Two examiners determing the important features (signs,  elements of history etc) that the candidate should achieve, setting the standard required to pass, and what might result in failure of each skill at the station - i.e. calibiration.
• The candidate - patient interaction for each case.
• Discussion of the candidates performance and the marking of skills.
• General discussion of the approach to the case, pitfalls and common errors in approach, examination technique or other aspects.

Non Members Fee £110.00
RCPSG Introductory/Associate Member (RCPSG) £65.00
Full Fee (Videolink) £50.00
