PACES Comprehensive & Intensive Courses

BitePACES offers intensive and comprehensive PACES exam preparation courses designed for doctors who have completed their clinical training and are preparing for the Practical Assessment of Clinical Examination Skills (PACES) exam. The courses are held at Guy's Hospital in London and delivered by experienced faculty including Dr Usmaan Ahmed (Lead Instructor) and Dr Shuaib Siddiqui (Course Organiser).

Two course formats are available:

• 1-Day Intensive Course (9am–5pm) — Suitable for candidates with solid clinical experience seeking a quick refresher. Covers every examination station and clinical consultations, with up to 16 high-yield cases. Candidates are divided into pairs and spend 13 minutes with each patient. Includes one mini-mock exam and examiner feedback on nearly every patient.

• 3-Day Comprehensive Course (9am–5pm Days 1–2, half-day virtual Day 3) — For those needing more in-depth preparation. Covers 25–30 high-yield cases across all examination stations, with 12–17 minutes per patient. Day 3 is a virtual half-day dedicated to communication skills, featuring a two-hour morning lecture followed by breakout-room role-play scenarios with dedicated feedback. Includes one mini-mock exam and post-course mentorship.

All courses feature a 1:2 patient-to-candidate ratio and are taught by course examiners who provide tailored feedback. Candidates will examine real patients under exam-condition simulation. Post-course mentorship is available to comprehensive-course attendees. BitePACES offers a 100% money-back guarantee: if you are not happy with the course on the day, you will receive a full refund with no questions asked.

Beyond the paid courses, BitePACES provides free resources including 3 days of recording access (covering every PACES station), free live webinars led by expert instructors, study-partner matching, a PACES prep scheduler, an interactive textbook, a progress dashboard, and a WhatsApp community group for networking and support.
