Young Doctors will follow seven first and second-year junior doctors as they leave their training behind to start work on the wards at John Hunter. They are all aged in their 20's and all will have someone's life in their hands. As newly qualified enthusiastic professionals, the juniors are stepping into something the public has an admiration for - being a doctor.

The Profession of Medicine has a duty to safeguard the health of the people and minimise the ravages of disease. Its knowledge and conscience must be directed to these ends. Ethical codes have developed to guide the members of the profession in achieving them. The Hippocratic Oath was an initial expression of such a code. More recent codes have developed from this and from a consideration of modern ethical dilemmas and these are embodied in the Declaration of Geneva (1948) and the World Medical Association International Code of Medical Ethics (1949, 1968 and 1983), and in the following statements by the World Medical Association which deal with particular issues: The Declaration of Helsinki dealing with biomedical research (1964, 1975 and 1983); the Declaration of Oslo dealing with therapeutic abortion (1970 and 1983); the Declaration of Tokyo dealing with a doctor's responsibility towards prisoners (1975); the Declaration of Lisbon dealing with patient's rights (1981); and the Declaration of Venice which deals with terminal illness (1983). These have been endorsed by each member organisation, including the New Zealand Medical Association, as general guides having worldwide application.
