The specialty of OMFS in the UK is a dual degree specialty which was recognised in Europe within Annex V of Directive 2005/36/EU. Currently UK law matches that of the EU. Brexit may change this. DIRECTIVE 2005/36/EU: Defines two specialties within European nations, Dental, Oro-Maxillo-Facial Training DOMFS (Basic dental & medical training) and Maxillofacial Surgery (basic medical training). The UK sat within DOMFS and so specialists from DOMFS nations could travel and work in the UK. Specialists from all other nations were required to use the Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR) route. DIRECTIVE 2013/55/EU: This directive updated 2005/36/EU regarding Mutually Recognised Professional Qualifications (MRPQ) including creating an international alert system for doctors in difficult Entry onto the UK OMFS Specialist List by CESR Route CESR application is a large and complex portfolio of evidence to demonstrate knowledge, skills and experience are equivalent to a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) holder. To date, no EU applicants have successfully completed a CESR application.
UNION OF EUROPEAN MEDICAL SPECIALISTS (UEMS): Even after Brexit, the UK will remain a full member of UEMS. The OMFS Section of UEMS is a source of information and support for specialists wishing to work in other nations and for nations wishing to develop an OMFS specialty in their nation.
ACCESS TO UK OMFS TRAINING FOR NON-UK TRAINEES: Applicants meeting the person specifications for approved OMFS specialty training (ST) posts in the UK are welcome to apply to the national selection process for OMFS specialty training in the UK. Many have done so successfully. Fixed term appointments and Fellowships are advertised and represent a useful route to gain support for application for training or through the CESR Route.
The UK remains part of the diverse OMFS community in Europe. There is support from within the UK and from UEMS for trainees and specialists interested in coming to the UK to train or to work.
英国的口腔颌面外科学专业是一项双重学位专业，在欧洲 2005/36/EU 指令的附件 V 中得到认可。目前，英国法律与欧盟法律一致。英国脱欧可能会改变这一情况。
2005/36/EU 指令：在欧洲各国定义了两个专业，口腔颌面训练 DOMFS（基础牙科和医学培训）和颌面外科（基础医学培训）。英国属于 DOMFS，因此来自 DOMFS 国家的专家可以在英国旅行和工作。来自其他所有国家的专家都需要使用专业注册资格证书（CESR）途径。
2013/55/EU 指令：该指令更新了 2005/36/EU 指令中关于互认专业资格（MRPQ）的规定，包括为医生创建一个国际警报系统，以困难进入英国口腔颌面外科专家名单通过 CESR 途径，CESR 申请是一份庞大而复杂的证据组合，用于证明知识、技能和经验与持有培训结业证书（CCT）的人相当。迄今为止，没有欧盟申请人成功完成了 CESR 申请。
欧洲医学专家联盟（UEMS）：即使在英国脱欧后，英国仍将是 UEMS 的正式成员。UEMS 的口腔颌面外科科是希望在其他国家工作的专家以及希望在其国家发展口腔颌面外科学专业的国家的信息和支持来源。
符合英国批准的口腔颌面外科学专业培训（ST）职位人员规格的申请人欢迎申请英国口腔颌面外科学专业培训的国家选拔程序。许多人已经成功申请。固定期限的任命和奖学金会被公布，这是获得培训支持的有用途径，或者通过 CESR 途径。
英国仍然是欧洲多元化口腔颌面外科学社区的一部分。英国国内和 UEMS 都为有兴趣来英国培训或工作的学员和专家提供支持。
