Important notice - Postponement of MRCPCH Clinical 2013-2 (Egypt)
After closely monitoring the current security concerns within Egypt the RCPCH Examinations Team have taken the very difficult decision to postpone the MRCPCH Clinical examination in Cairo on 10th and 11th May 2013.
Please refer back to this page over the coming weeks/months for further updates on future MRCPCH Clinical examination dates for Egypt.
The Examinations Team will be sending applications and cheques back to all candidates who applied for the May Egypt MRCPCH Clinical exam.
Candidates who were allocated places and whose applications have priority stickers on them will be given priority for the next MRCPCH Clinical exam held in Egypt. Please note that if you would like to apply to sit the MRCPCH Clinical exam in an alternative centre/location you will no longer retain your priority status for the next Egypt clinical exam and would then have to reapply once dates are published.
Further information will be posted immediately on this page once confirmed.
On behalf of the RCPCH we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and disruption this may have caused.
