The MRCP (PACES) examination is demanding, requiring not only a strong knowledge base but also the ability to present clinical cases clearly, succinctly, and logically. This indispensable revision resource is designed to support candidates in developing both skills, while remaining portable enough for use on the wards and sufficiently detailed for independent study.
The book reflects recent updates to the exam, including the revised Station 5 format focusing on brief clinical encounters. It also covers contemporary clinical topics such as the expanding use of biological therapies, and includes a comprehensive collection of clinical images, up-to-date investigations and management strategies, as well as exam-style questions aligned with both the expected standard and the current MRCP PACES marking framework.
All chapters have been reviewed by consultant specialists, many of whom serve as examiners for the Royal Colleges. The clinical cases—modeled on those most commonly seen in the examination—are presented in a consistent format and feature practical hints, tips, and concise summaries of key learning points.
Each case includes a dedicated section on case presentation to help candidates refine this crucial skill. While primarily aimed at MRCP (PACES) candidates, the book’s clear organization and balanced level of detail also make it a valuable resource for medical students, trainee doctors, and clinicians involved in teaching and examination preparation
