Junior Doctors

What if your first day on the job really was a matter of life and death? The hit series moves to Chelsea and Westminster hospital in London, following the lives of eight newly-qualified junior doctors as they leave behind their student days. They move in together and put their first-day nerves aside to take up their responsibilities on the wards.

Ben's dream of working with children turns into a nightmare when he is faced with little Alfie's tears and tantrums. Sameer is called to his first real emergency, where he is confronted with the harsh reality that he cannot save every patient.

The junior doctors are learning to deal with challenging patients and situations. On A&E, Amieth deals with a barmaid who has come in with a receipt spike through her hand, while on the surgery ward Andy has to convince a patient to stop eating before an operation.

The hospital has decreed that all junior doctors wear white coats so that patients can identify them, but not everyone is happy with the new look. Lucy struggles to keep up with the demanding workload on the nightshift.

The novelty of starting work is wearing thin for some of the junior doctors as they struggle to get a foot up the career ladder. Everyone is learning that there's a price to pay for success as social plans are scuppered.

The junior doctors are coming to the end of their first attachment, so it's time to prove they can make decisions and stand on their own two feet.
