MRCS Part A - Paper 1 Weekend
About this course

Join our two-day MRCS Part A Paper 1 Weekend, where we'll cover the whole of Applied Basic Sciences in one intensive run-through - anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology and microbiology, system by system. We'll work through recall-based MRCS questions, explain the highest-yield concepts in a clear and exam-focused way, highlight the mistakes that cost marks, and share practical techniques to help you maximise your score.
