CESR / Article 14
It is a legal requirement that doctors must have their names entered on the General Medical Council's (GMC's) Specialist Register before taking up substantive, honorary or fixed term NHS consultant posts in the UK. Most doctors achieve this by completing a UK training programme resulting in the award of a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT or CCST). However, doctors who have completed specialist training overseas or via a non-CCT route may be eligible for entry to the Specialist Register without undergoing further training in the UK. These doctors may be able to apply for an assessment to determine their eligibility for Specialist Registration. The route by which these doctors can apply is called Article 14 (click on below for further information).
