Documentary series following the lives of seven newly qualified junior doctors as they begin their placements at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton. The new recruits are Emeka, Osama and Anna, all in their first year of being qualified, and Jin, Jo, Omar and Jess, who are second-year medics.

In Obs and Gynae, 24-year-old Osama performs a tricky stomach drain procedure and gets the opportunity to assist in theatre with his first major operation, removing a large growth from a patient's womb.

Twenty-three-year-old Anna's nerves get the better of her on the respiratory ward when she struggles with a cannula and eventually has to call a more senior doctor for help. She also certifies her first death - a daunting task for any young doctor.

In general surgery, confident 24-year-old Emeka is tested on his first set of night shifts when he tries to save a patient who has gone into cardiac arrest.
