Summary
A doctor can apply for a CESR in psychiatry if they can demonstrate to the GMC that they have six months of training in the specialty being applied for and/or a postgraduate qualification in the specialty attained anywhere in the world. Once successful in their application, the doctor is entered onto the Specialist Register for a psychiatry specialty, that is, given ‘specialist registration’ by the GMC. If they are overseas doctors who at the point of application do not have GMC registration at all, they are given both full GMC registration and specialist registration at the same time.
