Play Trailer Play Screener Contact SalesThis gripping series follows five junior doctors as they face the daily realities of making life and death decisions. Going beyond the scrubs to reveal the emotional toll, personal cost, and pivotal career moments that shape the next generation of medical professionals.
Filmed inside New Zealand’s biggest and busiest hospital, during the critical first rotation of the year, Diary of a Junior Doctor explores how the demanding nature of hospital work challenges the responsibilities of relationships, marriage, friendship, and family.
From first-year house officers to experienced registrars, each doctor is balancing the dual stress of managing a defining professional moment with personal turning points in their lives. Here, ambition collides with exhaustion and work-life balance becomes key to survival in a job where the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Diary of a Junior Doctor is an unflinching, deeply human portrait of work, life and love on the medical frontline, with doctors and nurses from the UK, Ireland, and South East Asia.
