    Illustration: the StationReady platform as a small island of blocks — consultation, examination, communication, mock exam, audio and flashcards — with a doctor in front and a bell ringing on the mock exam tower at 13 minutes elapsed.

    The five PACES stations: Station 1 — Communication + Respiratory; Station 2 — Consultation; Station 3 — Cardiovascular + Neurology; Station 4 — Communication + Abdominal; Station 5 — Consultation.

    Features

    Built to mirror the real exam.

    Every feature is designed around how PACES is actually examined.

    Real-time voice patient interaction

    Ask questions naturally and move the consultation forward in real time. The patient responds to your wording, pace, and line of questioning.

    Real exam timing

    Bells fire at exact PACES times.

    Examiner-style follow-up

    You are challenged with follow-up questions that mirror the examiner discussion.

    265 cases across all PACES encounters

    Enough range for repeated practice without cycling through the same scenarios.

    7-skill grading after every case

    PACES assesses candidates across seven core skills, and the consultation stations assess all seven together. StationReady grades against those same domains.

    Timed mock exam circuit

    Consultation and communication stations back to back, with changeovers and a tally of your marks per skill.

    Audio library for on-the-go prep.

    145+

    275 flashcards to start, more with every station

    You begin with 25 cards for each examination system, 100 for consultation and 75 for communication — 10 new ones a day. Finish a station and its cards are offered to add: 1,600+ in all. A skills marksheet shows where your marks are going.

    Built around Stations 2 and 5

    Designed around the PACES 2023 consultation format, where Stations 2 and 5 are 20-minute integrated consultations, not isolated history-taking exercises.

    Real exam timing

    Ding.Ding-ding.

    The bells fire on elapsed time, at the points the real exam uses — so the two-minute warning stops being a surprise long before exam day.

    Consultation

    15 minutes with the patient, then examiner questions

    Communication

    10 minutes
    The 68 examination cases run in watch mode: a full walkthrough of the examination and examiner questions, paced by the voices rather than the clock.
    How it works

    Four steps. Out loud.

    From case selection to feedback.

    Step 1: Choose a PACES case

    Select from 265 cases across consultation and communication stations, or 68 clinical examination cases covering cardiovascular, respiratory, abdominal, and neurological encounters.

    Step 2: Run the consultation

    Take a history, explain your thinking, and address patient concerns, as you would in Stations 2 and 5. Your AI voice patient responds in real time.

    Step 3: Face examiner follow-up

    Move straight into examiner-style questioning. Vague differentials and shaky management plans get exposed here.

    Step 4: Review your marking

    Immediate feedback across all 7 PACES skills, from physical examination to maintaining patient welfare.

    New · Communication stations

    Practise the PACES station candidates leave too late.

    10-minute AI-simulated encounters — breaking bad news, consent, angry relatives, and ethical dilemmas — with feedback mapped to the real PACES marking domains.

    4PACES domains scored
    10 minper encounter

    Emotionally realistic AI patients

    Distressed, angry, tearful or in denial — patients that respond to your approach and adjust to your communication style.

    Real PACES mark scheme

    Scored against the same 4 domains your examiner uses on exam day — not a generic communication rubric.

    Full audio walkthroughs

    Hear how experts handle bad news, consent, and difficult conversations before practising yourself.

    Built-in frameworks

    SPIKES, ICE, Calgary-Cambridge, Mental Capacity Act — embedded in every case so you learn the structure as you practise.

    Ethics and capacity

    DNAR, driving, withholding information, self-discharge — the cases that trip candidates up most in the real exam.

    Instant feedback

    Know exactly where you scored on each domain and what to say differently next time.

    Try a communication case
    Marking

    See exactly where your marks go.

    Every attempt generates a full PACES-style marksheet across all 7 skills — Satisfactory, Borderline or Unsatisfactory, with the evidence behind each grade.

    Built by UK physicians

    Designed by doctors who understand what PACES candidates actually need.

    Mapped to PACES 2023

    Every case, station, and question follows the official PACES23 format.

    7-skill feedback after every case

    Graded against the same seven skills assessed in the real exam.
