Foundation Year Doctors (F1 & F2)

F2 in Portsmouth and Isle of Wight

We have developed a variety of 4 month placements for FY2 doctors which include full-time general practice and other posts where general practice is combined with Women's Health, Public Health, Substance Misuse, Psychiatry and Palliative Care. We also offer an academic FY2 post in Medical Education, for more details of this post please contact Amelia Howden at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

F2 doctors are attached to GP trainers to have a meaningful experience of Primary Care.  Some of them may want to go on to train for a career in General Practice, but for those pursuing a career this will be their only hands-on opportunity to practice medicine in the community.

The Foundation Programme in General Practice Handbook (click here) explains in detail how the scheme works, in particular the supervisory roles and the nature of the attachment.
