The figure of the junior doctor is defined in different ways depending on age, educational path, and
contract terms related to the conditions of the work contract. The issues related to this particular
professional figure should be considered one of the greatest tests to which Health Systems have to
respond. In this paper, these aspects are discussed together with practical advice that could be tailored to
individual working situations in order to adequately address these issues. Cornerstones and common
practices of clinical risk management which may be successfully applied in these contexts are also
discussed. The application of Risk Management tools can both provide proactive solutions to reduce the
risk of litigation, and create an environment based on trust and one in which junior doctors feel
encouraged to signal adverse events and to learn from them. This could result in overall growth in the
system, also from a cultural perspective, and better healthcare both for staff and patients.
