Radical changes to the way junior doctors are prepared for practice in UK hospitals have resulted from public and government pressure to raise the standard of medical practice in the UK. Other influences have been EU Directives, healthcare market changes, demographic pressures and organisational structure / management changes.

Barriers to this change were medical professionalism / culture, traditional practices in the National Health Service (NHS), professional boundaries and the increasing power base of health general managers.

This paper aims to address the actual management in the workplace of the implementation of this change in a District General Hospital.
