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.

The PACES standard setting group met on Thursday 28 March to agree the pass standards for the 2024/01 assessment period.

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 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.

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Dr Stuart Hood as the new Medical Director for Assessment [MRCP(UK)] for the Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK.

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).

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

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