Navigating the Portfolio Pathway - 23 June 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).
Important information prior to an online workshop
Online events include small group discussions and interactive activities. Delegates will get the maximum benefit by being able to fully participate.
This means:
- When making your booking we recommend you use an email associated with a Microsoft account. We require delegates to be logged into a Microsoft account to be able to fully participate in small group discussions and interactive activities. You will also need to be logged in to Microsoft for the RCP systems to recognise you and be able to issue you with a Certificate of Attendance.
- Some organisations’ security settings make it difficult to fully participate. If you have previously experienced issues accessing slides, video, audio, or breakout rooms whilst in Teams, please speak to your IT department prior to the event to troubleshoot.
- You can also contact the RCP to test-run the connections prior to the event. Most NHS accounts are linked to a Microsoft account and generally do not experience issues using Teams. Often home/personal emails are not linked to Microsoft and may not allow full participation.
- You will have the best experience joining the event using a desktop or laptop. Mobile phones and tablets typically do not allow full participation. For best results ensure your device is up-to date with any required software updates.
You will need a microphone and a camera to fully participate.
This intensive one-day course is aimed primarily at internationally trained doctors who have recently arrived to work in the UK and are applying for specialist registration via the portfolio pathway (previously known as the Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR) pathway).
By the end of this workshop doctors will be able to:
- recognise the importance of developing and maintaining an individual portfolio
- augment your knowledge of the Portfolio pathway application process
- appreciate the overlap between the Portfolio pathway and revalidation
- identify the evidence that is needed for the Portfolio pathway
- understand how workplace-based assessments may be used to demonstrate equivalence to IMT and specialty curricula
- appreciate the importance of setting objectives
- set your own personal objectives relating to the Portfolio pathway.
Workshop includes:
- presentation and Q&A session on the application process from the GMC's specialist applications team
- RCP clinical teaching faculty experienced in the portfolio pathway application process
- up-to-date facts and statistics on application success rates.
The workshop was very informative. It is going to be the first stepping stone for myself in pursuing the portfolio pathway. It has given provision of confidence with embarking on this pathway.

Good overview of portfolio pathway, very helpful to have GMC representative present. The workshop also helps with trying to set realistic expectations with how to complete the portfolio pathway
