The Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK is focussed on restarting all assessments; MRCP(UK) Parts 1 & 2, PACES and Specialty Certificate Examinations, in September as currently scheduled. We have been working closely with our third party providers to find new dates for the SCE's and European specialty examinations that were cancelled early in the pandemic and are pleased to confirm these have now been rearranged.
The Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK is pleased to announce that new dates have been confirmed for those Specialty Certificate Examinations (SCE’s) and European Specialty Examinations that were cancelled earlier this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We have been working closely with our third party partners to confirm these dates and ensure the examinations can be delivered for the rest of 2020, and beyond if necessary, in accordance with the relevant local, national and international guidance on physical distancing.
The Physician Specialty Recruitment Office based in Health Education England (HEE) has encountered an error in the processing of scores for ST3 palliative medicine.
It has become increasingly apparent that concern is being expressed by trainees and trainers about the effects that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the required outpatient experience within Internal Medicine Training (IMT).
We are pleased to advise candidates that we plan to start releasing PACES results from UK centres from the week commencing 1 June. Candidates will be contacted by the relevant examinations team to inform them when their results will be available to view. We aim to have released all the outstanding results by the end of that week. We would like to thank candidates for their patience and understanding as we have worked to deliver these results under the UK government’s social restrictions.
