How MedNext CESR Works

Browse the full directory of GMC specialties on the Portfolio Pathway. Each specialty page shows its competency framework, evidence sections, currency window, and the official SSG PDF linked directly.

Every specialty uses one of 8 framework types — CiPs, HLOs, SLOs, HiLLOs, HLLOs, Capabilities, Key Areas, or Learning Outcomes. MedNext maps the full structure from official GMC Specialty Specific Guidance documents. All specialty pages are free to browse without an account.

Upload PDFs, DOCX, JPG, PNG, screenshots, and scans. DOC/DOCX files are automatically converted to PDF preserving layout. Images are prepared for clean inclusion in your submission pack.

Map each file to the correct SSG section or framework unit. One document can satisfy multiple requirements — assign it to as many sections as it covers. You can also save documents as Additional Evidence for the appendix if they support your application without belonging to a specific section.

After uploading, each file can be checked by AI against the SSG requirements it is mapped to. The analysis reads the document and assesses whether the content is relevant and appropriate for the section.

This is not automated gatekeeping — you stay in control of what goes in your portfolio. The AI check is a second pair of eyes: it can flag if a document looks mismatched (e.g., a teaching certificate mapped to a surgical competency section), catch obvious errors before your evaluator does, and help you identify stronger evidence for weak sections.

Every file must be reviewed before export. Open each document in the built-in viewer, draw black redaction boxes directly over patient names, NHS numbers, dates of birth, and any other identifiers. The app creates a clean redacted PDF copy — your original file is untouched.

If a document contains no patient data — a course certificate, publication, or audit summary — you can confirm it as safe without redacting. Export is blocked until every file in your workspace is either redacted or confirmed safe. This is enforced, not optional, so nothing leaves your workspace unreviewed.

A section-by-section dashboard shows coverage across all SSG evidence sections and framework units. See which sections are well-evidenced, where gaps remain, and what the next action is for each.

Currency monitoring flags evidence approaching its expiry date. Volume targets track minimum case counts and assessor counts where the SSG specifies them. The dashboard updates in real time as you add, remove, or move evidence.

Generate clean assessor-ready PDF packs grouped by SSG section, each with a cover page and evidence index. Open and review the generated PDFs inside the app before downloading — save an edited copy if needed.

Exported packs contain no MedNext branding. Partial sections export when confirmed evidence exists, so you can share work-in-progress packs with a mentor or adviser. Additional Evidence exports as its own appendix pack alongside the main section PDFs. Download and upload directly to the GMC website.
