Registrars and F2s
A GP registrar or GP trainee is a qualified doctor who is training to become a GP through a period of working in a practice. They will usually have spent at least two years working in a hospital before you see them in a practice and are closely supervised by a senior GP or trainer. Registrars are with the surgery for a maximum of one year.
An ‘F2’, or Foundation Year 2 Doctor, is a fully qualified medical practitioner who is completing the compulsory two year postgraduate programme between degree and choosing a speciality or commencing the GP training programme. They spend four months in general practice.
Nursing Team
Practice nurses are qualified and registered nurses. They can help with health issues such as family planning, healthy living advice, blood pressure checks and dressings.
The practice nurses run clinics for long term health conditions such as asthma or diabetes, minor ailment clinics and carry out cervical smears.

Patient Coordinators
Patient coordinators provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Patient coordinators make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.
