“I recently passed my paces exam with v high score . I have attended the PASS PACE course, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone preparing for the PACE exam. The four-day course is intensive and incredibly well-structured, offering an great opportunity to see and examine up to a hundred patients. The focus on clinical signs is outstanding, providing exactly the kind of hands-on experience and practical knowledge you need for the exam. The cases were highly relevant, and the teaching was clear, thorough, and exam-focused. This course not only boosted my confidence but also enhanced my clinical skills. "

I attended the PassPACES course this January. The course delivered an exceptional educational experience with high-yield learning across all PACES stations. Both consultant and registrar teaching were of excellent quality, providing valuable insights and expertise. The course maintained a formal and professional approach throughout, with all content being relevant and purposeful. I highly recommend this course!

I am extremely grateful to Dr Bessant and her team at the PassPACES course for the high quality training offered at the 4-day course.I attended the mid-October course and passed my exam in first attempt.
The exceptional quality of the course delivery is a summation of really passionate and brilliant tutors,kind course organisers and the lovely patients.The level of discipline that the course will instill in you is yet another thing worth mentioning.I found the course director Dr Rupa Bessant to be very kind, confident leader of the team , who is excellent at her work. Being a very experienced doctor and educational leader,her ability to recognise positives ,as well as faults in your approach towards patients instantly is a blessing to the team!

It gives me immense pleasure in sharing this news that I've cleared PACES in 2024/3 from London, UK. I had done mid-September course with PassPACES team. I'd definitely recommend this course to anyone who is preparing for PACES. Excellent investment of time & money.

I'd like to highlight a few things.
1. The team is very knowledgeable and explains practical points than teaching theory. Registrars and consultants will highlight the importance of smart and short examination which helps not only for PACES but also in real life clinical scenarios.

2. Dr Bessant's leadership skills are outstanding and I can proudly say that I've cleared PACES under her guidance. Even though course was of 4 full days, it never felt boring or long because of practical and in-depth knowledge made it interesting.

3. Patients are wonderful, very kind and excellent teacher in themselves. As Sir William Osler says, 'listen to your patient, he is telling you the diagnosis', listen to the feedback from patients. They know their diagnosis and are more than happy to share the clues to reach the disease.

I highly recommend this course !

Dr Bessant is excellent. Even with all the prior glowing recommendations, the course far exceeded my expectations. It was absolutely fantastic with a very wide range of clinical pathology. I feel much more guided after the course and feel I have been put on the right track. All the lecturers were professional and enthusiastic. Well done Dr Bessant for organizing such a wonderful course. I can’t thank you enough!

I passed my Paces on the first attempt and that's all because I attended the Passpaces course a week before my exam. Only had time to prepare for four weeks for Paces but thanks to Dr Bessant and the course that they helped me prepare well enough to pass in that short time.They taught me all the tips and tricks of the exam . And I'm also grateful to the patients whom I had chance to see in the course. It's such a great course and I found the course itself was enough to prepare me to pass. Also, they emphasized on wearing formal clothes and shoes in the course to make us look and feel more professional.

I am extremely grateful to Dr. Rupa Bessant and the entire team at PassPaces for their exceptional training. I recently passed my Paces exam on my first attempt, and I owe much of my success to the knowledge and skills I gained through this course.

Although I have not been working in a hospital setting for the past two years, the course content was comprehensive, and the instructor guidance was incredibly effective in preparing me for the exam. The patient examination skills I learned were invaluable, and I felt confident applying them during the actual exam.

The structure, content, and delivery of the course were outstanding. The team's commitment to high-quality training is clear, and I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to participate.

On a personal note, I initially found the course director's focus on small details like dress code and how to interact with patients quite strict. However, I soon realized how important these things were for presenting myself professionally and, ultimately, for helping me succeed in the exam. The discipline and attention to these aspects truly made all the difference.

I highly recommend this course to anyone preparing for the Paces exam. Thank you, Dr. Bessant and team, for your dedication and support in helping me achieve this success.

An essential experience in your PACES revision. This is an exceptional course which has the right balance between dynamic teaching and truly fascinating clinical cases. It is an intensive course (it is four days) but really unprecedented exposure.

Thank you to the faculty and other colleagues who made this an actually incredibly enjoyable experience.
