Certificate of Eligibility of Specialist Registration (CESR) Rotations in Emergency Medicine

Our CESR rotational programme at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital is an exciting opportunity intended to provide the clinician with the support and training required to successfully complete all aspects of the CESR process. It will be possible to provide specific three month secondment-style modules to address relevant educational and competency needs. Secondments include Anaesthesia, ITU and Children’s Emergency Medicine. The remaining nine months of the year will be working in our adult emergency department.

Our department is renowned for its training and support. The Consultant body has current FCEM examiners as well as experience at successfully becoming a Consultant via the CESR process supported by this department. . The departmental lead of the CESR programme is heavily involved in the CESR training standards committee at RCEM and thus has in depth understanding and knowledge of the processes and requirements involved.

There will be a specifically-designed training and teaching package for all successful applicants and there will be a designated Consultant supervisor for the duration of the rotation who will guide completion of the CESR dossier.

From a clinical perspective these posts will participate in the 24 hour Emergency Department rota.

The rotation is initially offered on a fixed term contract for 12 months after which we would envisage extension on a mutually agreed basis. The post is available for immediate start or a delayed start date may be discussed.

The post holder must be registered with the GMC and hold a licence to practice.
