MRCP Part 1 Strategy Workshop
How to pass Part 1 while working full time in the UAE — the strategy that works around a rota, why doctors commonly fail, and how to prepare so you do not.
Dubai · September — Manchester · December
Intellect Medicos runs in-person MRCP workshops and events across the UK, India and the Gulf. Two are confirmed for 2026: a four-hour MRCP Part 1 Strategy Workshop in Dubai in September, and the two-day Fast-Track Revision Course in Manchester in December, run with PasTest.
How to pass Part 1 while working full time in the UAE — the strategy that works around a rota, why doctors commonly fail, and how to prepare so you do not.
Two days with PasTest. Every major and minor system, statistics and basic sciences, recall MCQs worked live, interactive cases and exam technique.
Six workshops and events since 2024, across five cities and three countries — from Kolkata this June back to the first Hyderabad weekend that started all of it.
12 June 2026
ESI Head Quarter Auditorium, Sector III, Salt Lake, Kolkata
Capped at 50 seats. How to clear Part 1 in three months on a full clinical rota — what to use, what to abandon, and the mistakes that quietly cost candidates the exam.

25–26 April 2026
Pendulum Hotel, Manchester · with PasTest
Our largest UK weekend, and the template for December. Every major and minor system, statistics and basic sciences aimed at 650+, recall MCQs, interactive cases, live Q&A and mindset coaching.

18 January 2026
Hyderabad, Telangana · with PasTest
Built for IMGs mapping a route into UK practice: which exam first, what the timelines really look like, and how to run PLAB and MRCP preparation without one destroying the other.

16–17 August 2025
University of Westminster, London · with PasTest
Our first UK weekend. Two days of high-yield theory and recent recall questions, mock question challenges, and a 30-day post-workshop revision plan every delegate walked out holding.

5 May 2024
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Our first workshop in the Gulf. The MRCP route into the UK, how it compares with USMLE, PLAB and NEET-PG, honest timelines to clear the exam — then clinical cases that mattered as much on the ward round as on the paper.
80% of the room enrolled onto the next Intellect Medicos batch.

27–28 January 2024
Hyderabad, Telangana
The first one. Two days in Hyderabad on MRCP, and on how to actually read what lands in front of you — a working approach to chest X-rays, MRIs and ECGs. It built confidence for the exam and for the ward round.
The event that started the in-person series.

Two are confirmed for 2026. A four-hour MRCP Part 1 Strategy Workshop in Dubai in September with Dr Chirag Madaan and Dr Ajila, and the two-day Fast-Track Revision Course in Manchester in December with PasTest. Exact dates and venues are being finalised for both. Register your interest above and you will be emailed as soon as each is confirmed — before seats are released publicly.
Doctors sitting MRCP(UK) Part 1 — most commonly NHS IMT 1, 2 and 3 trainees, trust grade SHOs and registrars, and international medical graduates. You do not need to be an Intellect Medicos course student to attend. The teaching assumes you have started revision, so the weekend works best if you are somewhere between mid-preparation and final revision.
No. The in-person workshops are booked separately and are open to any doctor sitting MRCP Part 1. Existing Intellect Medicos students are told about each workshop first and are usually offered a discount code.
They do different jobs. The 90-day online course builds knowledge from the ground up across a full exam cycle — recorded theory, weekly classes, marked mocks and a written study plan. A workshop is a compression session: it assumes the knowledge is there and works on retrieval, pattern recognition and exam technique. Most delegates attend in the final six to eight weeks before the paper. They complement each other; neither replaces the other.
The two-day Fast-Track course covers high-yield revision of the major and minor systems, statistics and basic sciences, recent recall MCQs with full reasoning for why each wrong answer is wrong, interactive cases, live Q&A and exam technique — pattern recognition for single-best-answer questions, not new content. The four-hour Dubai workshop is a strategy session: how to prepare around a full-time rota, the reasons doctors commonly fail Part 1, and how to build a plan that survives clinical work.
No. They are not recorded and are not made available online afterwards. The value of the room is the live interaction — asking your own question, working a case out loud, being corrected in real time. That does not survive a recording.
Deliberately few. Kolkata was capped at the first 50 registrations, because the format depends on every delegate being able to ask a question and get a full answer. Workshops have filled ahead of the date.
Yes. We run a range of workshops and events across different cities and countries. Since 2024 we have taught in person in Hyderabad, Dubai, London, Manchester and Kolkata — five cities across three countries — and we return to Dubai in September 2026. Formats vary from half-day strategy sessions to full two-day revision courses. The two-day Fast-Track Revision Course is our UK course with PasTest; events in India and the Gulf are run independently or with local partners, and are announced to the mailing list first.
Get through as much of your question bank as you reasonably can, and note the topics you keep getting wrong. Bring that list. The weekend is far more valuable when you arrive with specific weaknesses rather than a general sense of being behind.
