CESR Go is an online and on-the go portfolio that allows users to know exactly what types and how much evidence they need, keeps all their evidence neatly in one place and tracks and encourages their progress toward attaining all the evidence needed for a Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR) application to the General Medical Council (GMC).
CESR Go is maintained for your personal use and viewing. The access and use of the CESR Go system featuring these terms and conditions constitutes your acceptance of these terms and conditions. They take effect from the date on which you first use this website.

Information collected by CESR Go is used for internal review, to improve the content of the website, to customise the content and/or layout of the website, to notify users about updates to the website, and to contact users for marketing purposes and is not shared with other organisations for commercial purposes.
This site is owned and operated by Mekdem Ltd ("Mekdem Ltd", "we" or "us") which has its registered office at 104 High St. Colliers Wood, London, SW19 2BT.
