CEM - Specialist Registration
Information for doctors who wish to apply for UK Specialist Registration
It is a legal requirement for doctors to have their names entered on the General Medical Council's (GMC's) Specialist Register before taking up a substantive, honorary or fixed term NHS consultant post in the UK. Most doctors achieve this by completing a UK training programme resulting in the award of a Certificate of Completion of Training. However specialists who have not undergone a UK training programme are now able to apply for evaluation of their specialist training, qualifications, experience and knowledge to determine whether it is equivalent to the UK CCT.
