Popular BBC Three series, Junior Doctors, returns with a brand new group of recently qualified young medics looking to carve a career path in the highly competitive profession.
Filmed for almost four months at Wolverhampton’s New Cross Hospital, the series follows both the professional and personal lives of seven doctors working at the region’s largest training hospital.
In the first episode of series four of this multi award-winning programme, viewers meet three newly-qualified junior doctors beginning work at New Cross Hospital, in Wolverhampton.
Viewers will go behind the scenes for an insight into the daily life of the junior doctors, including how they prepare for their shifts and how they unwind when they are not working.
With the use of a mini digital rig, the doctors’ phone data is also recorded to reveal their texts messages to friends and family, and to each other - along with their last-minute internet searches for medical information before they see patients.
Anna is beginning her first day on the respiratory ward, Osama is starting out in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Emeka is cutting his teeth in General Surgery - dealing with everything from gallstones to appendicitis.
Anna spends time trying to fit her first cannula and has to confirm her first death after a patient on her ward passes away. Osama gets to assist with fibroid surgery and performs a drain on a patient with abdominal swelling. Emeka works his first night shift and has to assist with the attempted resuscitation of a patient in cardiac arrest.
Off the ward, Emeka gets a lesson in how to dress for a shift and is advised to leave his good clothes at home. He and Osama go for a few drinks and reflect on the highs and lows of their first week.
