or it could be senior house officer
i think is a junior doctor who has qualified from college but has to serve their time, in an acute hospital, as a junior before they can become a registrar or consultant?

SHO stands for Senior House Officer.
When you've just graduated medical school in the UK, you get a job as a junior house officer for 1-2 years. You then go on to become a senior house officer - so any SHO has been qualified for a couple of years, they have more responsibility and experience than JHOs straight out of med school. In surgical rotations, SHOs are allowed to do simple operations such as appendicectomies.
