Suzy copes with the move of A&E from an old building to a brand new centre.

Adam is on nightshifts and all the doctors look back over the last 3 months.

At the beginning of August every year in the UK, when most senior hospital staff are on holiday, over 7,000 inexperienced newly qualified students face the daunting prospect of walking into the hospital wards as doctors for the first time. What happens when they are left in charge of saving lives.

Junior Doctors follows six such rookies over a four-month period as they set out on their chosen careers in the busy, big city hospitals of Newcastle in the north-east of England. For each, this is a journey of discovery and viewers will empathise with these engaging young men and women as they face one of the most demanding jobs in the world, where dealing successfully with patients and other hospital staff is as important as getting the diagnosis and treatment correct.
