** Latest Feedback **
"I have passed !! Prof Naqvi, You are making a HUGE positive impact on the lives of many junior doctors! As a Trust grade SHO who has been moving from one Trust to another every year, it was becoming really hard for me to pass this exam. I would have passed in the first attempt if I had attended your teaching sessions earlier."
Dr Yin Mon Aung MRCP
Worthing Hospital, NHS England, UK
(July 2023)
"Dear Dr Naqvi, I am delighted to tell you that I have passed PACES on my FIRST attempt! I had been out of practice from general medicine for almost 8 years , during which time I have been exclusively practicing dermatology. I found your coaching sessions highly informative. You have an incredible ability to teach on how to deal with patient's concerns, as well as on how to excel in the communication stations. I would highly recommend your coaching sessions to PACES candidates, particularly those who are unfamiliar with the UK health system..."

" I was really struggling to pass PACES. Dr. Naqvi's guidance was invaluable in identifying my key weaknesses that I didn't even know I had! Look no further if you want to pass this exam , particularly if you are an overseas graduate!'
Dr R Sharma, Chennai MRCP(UK), India
" Dear Dr Naqvi, I have finally passed my PACES! Your advice was excellent and I believed I needed that push to make it through. My total score was 159/172! Thank you so much again for your invaluable guidance..'
Dr Nabeelah MRCP(UK), Mauritius
" Dear Dr Naqvi, I am glad to inform that I have passed my PACES exam!! It would have been an impossible task without your guidance. I was really low on morale after I failed in my first attempt. You had instilled confidence and explained tips which were really helpful for me. Moreover, I was surprised at seeing my scorecard - I scored full marks in Neurology station which I was most scared of!! Once again I would like to thank you wholeheartedly for your guidance.'
Dr Sreejith Venugopal MRCP(UK), India
" I passed my MRCP PACES in first attempt in Dubai !! I got 16/16 in the communication station and 15/20 in history with a total score of 151 !! Thanks a lot sir for your help and guidance!.."
