Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR)

As of 30 November 2023, CESR has been renamed Portfolio Pathway. Under Portfolio Pathway, the General Medical Council (GMC) no longer requires applicants to demonstrate full equivalence to the CCT programme. Under the new approach, evidence will need to show that the applicants have achieved the Knowledge, Skills and Experience (KSE) required for practising as a Consultant in the UK.

In the below webinar, the Intercollegiate SAS Education Committee for SAS, LED, and NCHD (ISECSN), in collaboration with the General Medical Council (GMC), discuss the recent updates on the new Portfolio Pathway and Good Medical Practice guidelines. The webinar addresses the inquiries that have arisen regarding the alterations to the CESR pathway, along with the introduction of the Portfolio Pathway.
