In the UK, substantive consultants in the field of medicine must hold their registration with the General Medical Council (GMC). However, non-consultant psychiatrists have the opportunity to pursue specialist registration in psychiatry through various routes, one of which is the Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR) pathway. This comprehensive guide, authored by esteemed experts with firsthand experience, is designed to provide valuable guidance to doctors aspiring to utilize this route. Specialist registration serves as a testament to a doctor's expertise and the attainment of competencies as outlined in specialized curricula. This book offers a concise yet comprehensive overview of the application process for CESR, offering practical insights and strategies to ensure a successful application. It is particularly relevant to Specialty and Associate Specialist (SAS) Doctors with extensive experience in psychiatry, psychiatrists who have completed their training abroad and seek to practice in the UK, as well as medical managers and educators who support their workforce in their journey towards consultant grade.
