Specialty registrar is the grade undertaken, typically in hospitals, after completion of foundation training. Specialty registrars train in a specialist area and develop the skills and knowledge needed for that specialty. As specialty registrars gain experience they progressively manage more complex patient cases and have increased clinical responsibilities. They will usually, though not always directly, be supervised by a consultant. By the end of training a specialty registrar will have attained all the professional qualifications required to become a consultant.

These are terms used in the UK and Commonwealth :), in case you are American.

Everyone who has a medical degree is called a doctor. If you are registered with the GMC, you are allowed to practice.

There are then "grades" of doctor in the NHS, like a hierarchy. It goes

PRHO/JHO/FY1-All names for the same thing. Newly qualified doctor, runs the ward.

SHO-Doctors in their second to fourth year postqualification, depending on speciality

Registrar-Doctors In their fifth to eighth year postqualification, depending on speciality.

Consultant-Known as a "senior" doctor, all others are junior. They are the boss and are specialists in their chosen field. They run a "firm", consisting of all the other juniors and are ultimately clinically responsible for their patients.
