New Doctor is a magazine produced by MPS for doctors in their first two years qualified.

We aim to deliver the low-down on the medicolegal issues that all new doctors need to know.

Every year dozens of doctors are held to account for unethical behaviour and are struck off the medical register. We want to support you with the skills and knowledge you need to practise safely.

New Doctor draws on the real experiences of practising doctors to tackle the ethical and legal issues that confront every new doctor.
