MRCP PACES Station 2 Consultation: How To Practise A Better Mid-Station Pivot

Why this matters

Station 2 consultations often hinge on a smooth pivot: from focused history and requested findings into differential explanation and management without sounding disjointed or rehearsed.

What to focus on

• Use the first half to gather what changes management, not every theoretical detail.
• Request findings early enough to use them in your explanation.
• Finish with a safe management plan and an explicit check of patient concerns.
