Turn Neurology from a weakness into a strength

The Queen Square PACES revision course has run since 1995. Since its foundation the unique strengths of the course have resulted in long waiting lists, so booking early is recommended. Carefully tailored to the PACES exam, the course will help you turn Neurology from a weakness to an asset in PACES.

The course is at one of the world’s leading Neurology centres, The National Hospital of Neurology and Neurosurgery. It is primarily taught by Consultant Neurologists from the National Hospital who have access to the widest possible range of cases which is invaluable to avoid surprises in PACES.

Our lectures give you the definitive Peripheral and Central Nervous System examinations and gives you experience in Neurology & neuro-ophthalmology for PACES that is not available elsewhere. We will also support with practice under exam like conditions.

The course

This will be an intensive one-day clinical course for candidates preparing for the MRCP Part II examination. The programme detailed below will comprise clinical case demonstrations (in small groups) designed to prepare candidates for the PACES examination, preceded by supporting lectures and discussion.

The course will give participants the opportunity to examine patients covering a wide range of neurological and neuro-ophthalmological conditions. The tutors on the course are all experienced neurologists including several consultants who have been teaching on this course for many years.

Feedback since 1995 has been superb and has enabled us to continuously improve the course.

Where better to learn about Brown-Sequard Syndrome than at a Hospital at which Dr C.E. Brown-Sequard taught?
