Why does getting on the Specialist Register with a CCT grant freedom of movement through Europe whereas getting on the Register with a CESR does not?
European legislation recognises specialist qualifications of EEA nationals with EEA primary medical qualifications. People who successfully apply under Article 14 for inclusion to the specialist register are granted a CESR. This is a standard of equivalence, not a qualification awarded after approved training which meets the minimum standards specified in European legislation and therefore does not fall within European mutual recognition arrangements.
