Abstract
The transition from medical school to being a practicing junior doctor is challenging. It requires knowledge and clinical skills but also the ability to efficiently function in the workplace and be a productive valuable member of the medical and non-medical teams. At the same time gaining essential clinical experience, passing postgraduate exams, under-taking research or audit and publishing become essential for career progression. One soon realises that being a doctor is not just a profession but a way of life.
