Overview
- The new season airs on 5 Star and streams on My5, and for the first time features Northern Ireland, with cameras inside Belfast’s Royal Victoria Hospital plus Newham Hospital and Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
- The opening episode follows doctors treating four young men after a 70mph car crash in heavy rain in Belfast.
- In Norwich, clinicians work to save both a stabbing victim and the attacker who arrive in critical condition at the same time.
- Footage from Newham shows racist abuse directed at an A&E nurse as security deals with a patient live streaming inside the department.
- New NHS England figures frame the series, showing 14.47% of staff suffered physical assault last year, nearly 31% of ambulance workers reported unwanted sexual behaviour, and 9% faced discrimination.
