In theory, yes. The Certificate of Completion of Specialist Training (CCST) should be recognised all over the European Union. However, despite European directives there are still major problems. The authority to contact is the Specialist Training Authority (STA) in London that is in charge of recognising your training and experience. You also have to register with the General Medical Council (GMC) - a process that can be rather tedious for foreigners since the efficiency of this body leaves room for improvement. Another essential address is the Royal College of your specialisation. The colleges are responsible for training specialists in the UK and seem to be quite well informed. You might also find help from the British Medical Association (BMA).

There are certain specialities that don't exist in the UK (e.g. trauma is an orthopaedic not a surgical subject) or are named differently and will thus not be recognised (e.g. Dermatology in the UK vs. Dermatology / Venerology on the Continent). The recognition of the German "Allgemeinarzt" will be done by the Joint Committee for Postgraduate Training in General Practice (J.C. P.T.G.P.) at the Royal College of General Practice. This takes about 6-8 weeks and is not always easy.
