    The NHS seem to be addressing this presently in numerous ways. For example senior medical students are assisting in surgery hands on, making diagnoses and presentations to their senior Consultants, been assigned to a patient alongside their senior qualified team, running some A&E departments accompanied by senior fully qualified Nurses with Consultants on bleep call throughout the hospital and much much more. This is part of setting them up in good steed for the time when their August month comes to the fore as Junior Doctors.

    I guess they just need to make sure that not too many senior Consultants are away during the August period as this is unfair to Patients and indeed to the brand new Junior Doctor. Its common sense surely.

    I must add that our future Junior Doctors(my own daughter Briony included) looking their own August straight in the eye are working 12 hour shifts both night and day so hopefully their Consultants will be there to support them.
