Abstract

The workplace remains the most important learning environment for junior doctors in their postgraduate years. There is no national curriculum to guide the education of prevocational doctors. The apprenticeship model is under threat, and is not sustainable in the future without significant changes to the system. Supervision is crucial for junior doctors' learning and for safe, quality patient care.
