Your qualifications won’t be recognised as a right but there are well established processes for gaining recognition. Most of the world is not in the EU, and professionally qualified people can and do travel all over the world.

The ECHR is not an organ of the EU. It was set up mostly by us at the end of World War 2 to ensure any future atrocities could be prosecuted from a firm legal basis rather than on a hastily agreed set of principles formulated from a medieval concept called Natural Law (which is in turn rooted in Classical Greek philosophy (principally Aristotle). Given Europe’s history, membership of it should be a basic requirement for any country to be deemed civilised.

The food standards regs would prevent uk producers exporting chlorine washed chicken to the EU but as we are outside their single market it’s hard to see how that rule would prevent us importing it if we chose.
