MRCP(UK) Part 2 Clinical Examination PACES

Candidates with constraints on their practice

Candidates who have been erased from the GMC (or equivalent) register for reasons related to fitness to practice are not permitted entry to any MRCP(UK) Examination. Candidates who have been suspended from the GMC (or equivalent) register are not permitted entry to any MRCP(UK) Examination for the duration of the suspension.

Candidates who are subject to any warning, interim orders, undertakings or conditions on their practice from the GMC (or equivalent body) must submit a completed MRCP(UK) and Specialty Certificate Examinations Candidate Declaration Form with each application. Permission to enter any MRCP(UK) Examination will be at the discretion of the MRCP(UK) Medical Director.

Application Forms

All candidates are asked to note that application Form P for entry to the PACES examination has recently been updated. Candidates must ensure that they use the new version of the form available on this website.

Please note that candidates for PACES no longer need to supply two separate testimonials from proposers who hold MRCP(UK) or FRCP. Instead they must obtain support from their current or most recent educational supervisor or supervising consultant.

Candidates are also advised that the MRCP(UK) Form of Faith for election to membership is no longer a part of the PACES application form. The Form of Faith needs to be completed and submitted once a candidate has passed all three parts of the MRCP(UK) examination.

Any candidates submitting incomplete applications will not be allocated a place in the exam until all outstanding items are resolved. Upon completion, candidates will only be allocated a place if one is still available at that time.
