Workshop

Navigating the Portfolio Pathway - 27 January 2025

The 'Navigating the Portfolio Pathway' workshop offers practical advice and guidance for doctors of all specialties who are considering applying specialist registration via the portfolio pathway (previously known as the Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR) pathway).

I was especially glad of the update to the new PP (vs old CESR) system, and I was prompted to study the latest version of my SSG. I am pleased to note the new system seems a lot more user friendly and somewhat less daunting than the old.
