Prioritisation Criteria A reminder that prioritisation criteria for UK PACES places in 2021/1 have now been published and are available on the website: We anticipate that the number of applications will exceed the available exam places but the College Exam teams are working hard to maximise the number of candidates we can assess in the first 6 months of 2021.

MRCP(UK) has updated the amended regulations for candidates sitting online examinations.

We are aware of a system issue that is causing an error message to be displayed during the payment process for the 2021/1 UK PACES diet which we are working hard to resolve.

Exam Cancellations Unfortunately we have had recent late cancellations at some of our centres.

Part 1 examinations The contingency exam for the Part 1 exam ran entirely online, and very successfully, on 10 November.

Due to the developing COVID-19 situation in the locality, we regret to advise that the following PACES examinations have had to be cancelled: Edinburgh CSAC, Western General Hospital on 17, 18 & 19 November Tunbridge Wells Hospital on 21 & 22 November QEQM, Margate on 21 & 22 November All candidates affected by this cancellation have been informed by their respective colleges and have been prioritised for a place at the next available diet in 2021.

We are delighted to report the successful delivery of the first ever full MRCP(UK) PACES examination to be held in Pakistan.

This has been a challenging week with the news that two of our centres have been forced to cancel at short notice.
