title: A charter for house officers.
abstract: Recently there have been several initiatives to improve the working conditions and training of junior doctors. However, monitoring is infrequent considering the rapid changes in the health service, thus a mechanism to detect early problems is necessary. With this in mind, we have drawn up a charter for house officers that outlines standards which they should expect and the action they should take if they are not met.
