CESR Anaesthetics — realistic timeline from start to CCT-equivalent?

Question

Senior reg, 5 years experience back home. Trust said 18-24 months. Anyone done it faster?

Dr. Sofia Martinez · Answer

Realistically 3-5 years if you already have most of the evidence. Anaesthetics has strict logbook requirements, so start collecting cases early.

Dr. Karthik Rao · Answer

Speak to the RCoA CESR team before you start. They can review a sample of your evidence and tell you what's missing.

Dr. Amina Bello · Answer

The biggest delay is usually getting signed supervisor reports. Build those relationships as soon as you start a new post.
