What is PACES Unlocked?
Most PACES candidates don’t fail because of a lack of knowledge. They fail because they don’t address three areas: technique, neurology and presentation skills.
PACES Unlocked is a resource that addresses these key areas.
Three sections. Each one built around the areas candidates find hardest. Each one combining clear frameworks, visual diagnostic decision trees and real anecdotes from my own PACES experience.
What’s inside?
Exam technique
A repeatable stepwise approach for every station with logical decision trees and frameworks.
Through learning these techniques, you can develop a confident approach and narrow down the diagnoses before you’ve touched the patient.
Neurology for PACES
A focused section on the station and specialty dreaded by many candidates! Featuring pattern recognition guidance tailored to the exam. This section will help you recognise the common PACES neurology presentations and examine with confidence.
Presentation skills
Master your presentation skills and finish each station on a confident note. This section will help you develop your own style of presenting your findings, applying the frameworks and techniques learned in the previous sections.
