PACES Courses sold out

Wow!  With a month to go until the first one, all of the PACES courses in London and Manchester are fully booked, with waiting lists in operation!

Can PACES candidates really be this concerned about station 5?  Normally our PACES courses sell out 2-3 weeks before, but to have them all sold out so soon is quite unusual.

Our courses have been completely updated for the station 5 integrated clinical assessment and we're working hard on getting PacesCases ready for the middle of September.  When we've been filming the new station 5 videos we've found that it's the 8 minute time constraint that candidates are struggling with - it is SO hard to squeeze everything into 8 minutes and leave time to ask the patient questions.  Practise, practise, practise!
