Specialty specific guidance for CESR and CEGPR
We’ve created guidance for each certificate of completion of training specialty with the relevant royal college or faculty. This will tell you the evidence we expect you to submit for your application in the most closely related specialty.
If there’s no certificate of completion of training specialty that closely matches yours, please use the generic guidance. You shouldn’t submit your application until you’ve read this guidance and gathered your evidence.
Due to the significant changes that are being made to the curriculum in some specialties and to ensure fairness between the CCT and CESR/CEGPR process, once a curriculum has been approved and published you may be given the opportunity to make your CESR application in either the new curriculum or the previous version of the curriculum. This option of dual running of curricula will likely be available until the point of implementation for CCT training for the relevant specialty but may be extended past the point of implementation if necessary. To check whether the curricula for your specialty will be dual run please check the guidance for your specialty.
It’s important you check our website regularly for updates to the specialty specific guidance and curriculum for your specialty.
These documents can be updated at any time and you’ll be assessed against the curriculum in place at the time you apply.
