Navigating the Portfolio Pathway - 24 November 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).
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
