The role of a foundation year 1 (FY1) doctor has evolved over the years. Many doctors report significant anxiety and stress during this period. In this Quality Improvement Project, we looked at the difficulties FY1s face in their working day and if these issues could be resolved by implementing some structural changes. ⋯ The implementation of structural changes improved the quality of FY1s working day and increased the efficiency of service delivered on the surgical ward.
