RCP withdraws Medical Masterclass

The Royal College of Physicians is withdrawing the online exam support resource Medical Masterclass. We made this available to UHNM staff.

The RCP statement reads as follows:

-------

As you may be aware the current format of MRCP(UK) PACES ceased in the UK in August 2023.

Due to this, and because there are many other widely-used revision aids on the market already, as well as in-house Trust-delivered revision courses, there is less demand for the revision resources we have previously supplied.

Therefore, we are now no longer offering the following revision resources listed below:

Question banks — revision for Part 1 and Part 2

RCP PACES masterclass — revision for PACES.

Textbooks — revision for Part 1, Part 2, PACES

(Forming the Medical Masterclass Package)

-------

We have a number of accounts which will remain available until December 2024. If anyone still wants to use this resource please contact the library team at County by emailing library@uhnm.nhs.uk

Staff at UHNM can now use the exam support package NEJM Knowledge Plus instead. Please contact the library team at County for more details (library@uhnm.nhs.uk).
