Developing Tomorrow’s Doctors with Dr David Plume GP Norwich

A GP Registrar is a qualified doctor working toward becoming a GP. Before joining a practice, they typically complete at least two years in hospital medicine. Consequently, they bring strong clinical knowledge and fresh energy. Registrars remain at the practice for up to one year and receive constant mentoring from experienced trainers.

Similarly, F2 doctors are in the second year of postgraduate training. Although fully qualified, they are exploring their career options before entering a specialty or GP training. As a result, they complete a four-month placement in general practice. These doctors work under close guidance, ensuring safe and effective patient care.
