Each series of our PACES Training Evenings is hosted by a variety
of PACES experts, over five evenings in the month prior to each
PACES assessment period. Each session is held live in our College,
and video-linked to centres around the UK and overseas.
For the most current list of available video-link centres, please
visit our website. To add your centre to the list, or for a one-off link,
please contact us for more information.
Course Information:
Over the course of the 5 evening sessions, each of the PACES stations
will be looked at in detail, with each evening representing one PACES
station, as follows:
Station 1: Respiratory and Abdominal Systems
Station 2: History Taking
Station 3: Cardiovascular and Central Nervous Systems
Station 4: Communications and Ethics
Station 5: Brief Clinical Consultations
Each evening includes an introduction to the station, examiner calibration
and a live run through of the station as you would see it in the exam
(including real examiners, patients and candidates), as well as plenty of
time for questions and discussion. Station 4 also includes a session with
the Director of Medical Examinations and Assessment for the College.
Each session begins at 18:15, and runs to around 19:30 (depending on
discussions). Please note, registration in Glasgow for the live sessions
opens at 17:45.
To view an example running order for one of the evenings, please visit
our website.
Course Aims:
• Explain the skills-based marking scheme used
in PACES, and how to score well in all skills.
• Allow you to watch examiner calibration,
understand how it works and what it means for
you in the exam.
• Provide tips on the best examination techniques,
and what should be avoided.
• Show you how best to use your time when
examining patients/surrogate patients.
• Demonstrate the best approach to examiner
questioning.
• Present the common issues seen by
examiners that are fed back to candidates.
• Provide an informal environment,
allowing you to ask questions of our
facilitators and examiners, to clarify
and respond to any issues you may
have about the exam.
