Bart is a young intern starting his first gig after graduating with honours from Med school. Bart has enjoyed a privileged life of private schools, a nice home in the best suburb, and he has never really had to struggle for anything. He plays rugby, drives a sports car and moves in a fairly up market crowd.

He's incredibly attractive but doesn't seem overly aware of it. He's more likely to react to an admiring glance from a woman by checking whether his fly's undone than by any awareness that she might just be hot for him. Bart graduated top of his year at med school and sees himself as a specialist of some sort down the track. He applied to St. Vincents private for his internship and was disappointed when he got All Saints. But he's more than willing to do the work to get where he's going.

His heart's in the right place but like so many young doctors, he has no idea of what the real world of medicine can be like. Whether he copes with the rigours of being a doctor is yet to be determined.

Dr Bartholomew West is played by Andrew Supanz
