We are aware that a small number of candidates may not be able to sit the online versions of the MRCP(UK) Part 1 and 2 Written examinations.

We are introducing changes to the policy on the maximum number of attempts candidates can take at each part of the diploma (Part 1/Part 2 Written/PACES): Candidates who are applying to sit Part 1 for the first time from the 1 January 2022, will be allowed a maximum of six attempts at each part of MRCP(UK).

We are pleased to advise candidates based in Iraq, that the MRCP(UK) Part 1 and Part 2 Written examinations will resume in Baghdad from the 2023/02 examination diets.

The Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom is delighted to confirm that it will open its first MRCP(UK) PACES examination centre in Pakistan later in 2020.

MRCP(UK) regularly reviews the guidance provided for candidates and the regulations that govern the examinations.

Candidates can now access all their MRCP(UK) results letters for Part 1, Part 2 Written and PACES, and their SCE results letters, within their MyMRCP(UK) account.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact on the running of PACES examinations and the availability of spaces across the world.

Why is it still taking 6 weeks to release results? The timeline for the release of PACES results was extended to up to 6 weeks in 2020 due to a number of pandemic related factors, including the introduction of virtual examiners for stations 2 & 4 which now means that mark sheets are in multiple locations rather than just one centre.

As a consequence of the ongoing global COVID-19 situation, the Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK has taken the extremely difficult but necessary decision to cancel all MRCP(UK) examinations in the UK and internationally from Monday 16 March until September 2020.
