FRCPASS
FRCPath-1 Haematology Preparatory Course
Who are we?
We are a group of UK haematology consultants and previous FRCPath Haematology examiners with a wide range of different expertise in Haematological sub-specialities and Laboratory experiences. We hereby provide a comprehensive, 100% virtual preparation and revision for the candidates preparing for FRCPath-1 Haematology Exam. We provide a comprehensive cover for all pillars of the Haematology practice over 4 days with Exam targeted lectures. We offer almost 200 MCQ/EMQ questions prepared by previous FRCPath examiners and sub-specialty experts to perfectly simulate what you will see in the day of your exam and with the same level of difficulty and complexity. Those MCQ/EMQ questions will be answered during the course with all answers explained.
We will also test your knowledge by doing a mock essay 3 weeks before the exam, your answers will be corrected by previous FRCPath examiners and then will be returned to you in a timely manner to give you the taste of doing the exam and the opportunity to know the points to work on.
Our
Philosophy
​
Our concept is to mentor and guide through over the whole way. We hereby, in this preparatory course, are not just providing a traditional course that ends by the end of its last lecture, rather a continuous educational support, guidance and supervision over a time period that starts with the day of your registration till the exam day.
Most of the candidates setting the exam worldwide will find it much easier, convenient and more rewarding and cost effective to be at their own home while having a virtual guidance through over a fairly long period of time till the exam day. We will give a comprehensive cover and continuous guide for all the haematology pillars rather than just a pre exam revision.
About FRCPath Certificate
Possession of FRCPath in Haematology by examination is a mandatory requirement for the award of the CCT in Haematology for UK trainees.
It is also an accepted certificate for IMGs to get full GMC registration with license to practise, this is particularly useful for experienced overseas haematologists who are willing to work in the UK and they want to get GMC registration without the need to go for the more basic pathways like PLAB or MRCP.

Overseas FRCPath exam in haematology is held in almost 11 centres around the world. The pass rate for part 1 is showing a massive discrepancy between UK and non UK centre as per the performance report 2019:
Overall pass rate: 54.9%.
UK centres: 62.1%.
Non UK centres: 30.8 %
Largely, this discrepancy represent the lack of orientation to the exam structure and the absence of proper guidance and preparation. We are determined to change that by providing the needed guidance to all candidates taking FRCPath exam in Haematology.
Since we have started this course on 2020, the pass rate for FRCPath-1 haematology has significantly improved as we are proud of the high pass rate amongst our candidates.
