24 Hours in A&E Series 1 Episode 15 – Together We Have It All
We follow the stories of three families coping with life’s challenges in the latest episode of 24 Hours in A&E.
The next episode airs on Monday 1 April at 9pm on Channel 4. The award-winning documentary returns from its home at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust’s (NUH) Queen’s Medical Centre (QMC) - one of the busiest A&E departments in the country. A place where stories of life, love and loss unfold every single day.
38-year-old Steven is rushed to QMC with multiple injuries to his head, eye and chest after a wall collapses on him at work. Doctors are concerned he may have lost his sight in one eye and that a head injury is dangerously close to an artery that supplies blood to the brain. We hear from his wife Gemma who tells us they always wanted a family of their own, but medics warned it might not be possible because of her heart condition.
In resus, 16-year-old Coby has crashed his motocross bike at speed. His father Damian tells us how his own mother died of bowel cancer and how his now wife cared for her during her illness.
7-year-old Layla-Rose has fallen off her bike and smashed her front teeth. Doctors are worried she may have inhaled fragments of teeth, so they send her for X-rays. Her dad Kurt is in the army and spends long stretches away. He reflects on how hard it can be working away from home and the importance of enjoying family time when he’s back.
During September and October 2021, the Trust welcomed cameras into the Emergency Department at QMC for the first series to be filmed outside of London.
A total of 24 programmes were recorded and the first episodes were broadcast last year. You can catch up on previous episodes, including last week’s, at channel4.com.
Cameras returned to QMC in May 2023 to film another series of the award-winning documentary.
