GP registrars, are fully qualified and registered doctors. They have passed out of medical school and completed their 2 years of pre-registration in hospital and been admitted as fully registered doctors on to the GMC list. They are currently on a 3 year GP registration course, this involves further hospital medical training and an attachment to a practice under a supervising qualified GP. All GPs must undergo this training before they can become fully qualified GPs in their own right.

 

FY2

FY2’s (foundation year 2) are medical practitioners who have completed a medical degree and are in their second year of a Foundation Programme (a two-year, general postgraduate medical training programme which forms the bridge between medical school and specialist/general practice training). They remain under clinical supervision of a senior doctor but are qualified to make independent management decisions regarding patient care. We currently have one FY2 (Susannah Ashfield) on our team who see patients four days a week.
