Private Notes
The newly qualified doctors featured in the series earlier this year gather to discuss what they have learnt. First years Adam Beaini, Katherine Conroy and Lucy Holmes recall the struggles they faced when they started working on the wards, and second years Jon Barclay, Suzi Batchelor, Andy Kong and Keir Shiels reflect on the challenges the past year has presented
One year on and about to start new placements, the Junior Doctors from BBC Three's hit series look back at the past 12 months - what they have learned, how they have changed and how they coped with some of the biggest challenges of their lives, from a receipt spike stuck through a patient's hand to their first emergency calls. With previously unseen footage, this programme adds extra insight into what was a very eventful year.
