Arcadian provides placements for doctors undertaking their Foundation Training Programme, but what exactly is a Foundation Year 2 (F2) Trainee?

• When a doctor completes medical school, they embark on a two year foundation training programme. They are a qualified doctor, but only have a provisional registration with the General Medical Council.
• During the first year (F1) they gain 12 months clinical experience as a doctor in a hospital setting where they undertake 3 different placements, for example in general medicine, surgery or mental health.
• Doctors who successfully completed the F1 are granted full registration with the GMC and move automatically into Foundation Year 2 (F2).
  F2 consists of a further 3 placements – one of which is with a GP surgery, where they gain experience of primary care, under the close supervision of an experienced GP.
• On successful completion of F2 the doctor is able to apply for speciality training programmes, to pursue a chosen career path – like General Practice.
• So, the F2 you may encounter in Arcadian will have been qualified for more than a year, but less than two and be on a four-month placement with the surgery, working under the close supervision of one of the regular GPs.
  The length of slots tend to be longer to allow them time to come ask for advice, seek clarifications or indeed check on the appropriate procedure to conduct a task in the community setting.

The Practice Manager is responsible for the daily operation of the practice and manages the Reception and Admin Teams. Sav is constantly trying to improve patient experience by reviewing processes and procedures. He deals with any patient queries or problems and hopes to resolve them as promptly and amicably as possible.

Our team of Receptionists led by Sav, book appointments, answer the telephone, deal with requests for repeat prescriptions and help with enquiries generally. Like the medical team they receive ongoing training in practice procedures and protocols. The reception team 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. Please remember our receptionists have a very difficult task to perform and that they must follow the instructions given to them by the doctors. Please also understand that they may need to ask sensitive questions when dealing with certain requests, particularly when assessing urgency. We hope that you find the professional and courteous approach by our staff helpful and welcoming.
