24 Hours in A&E Series 1 Episode 19 – It’s My Life
Channel 4’s 24 Hours in A&E, will return to our TV screens on Monday 8 July at 9pm.
The series 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.
53-year-old motorbike enthusiast Scott is rushed to QMC by Air Ambulance after crashing at high-speed at a track day event. While Major Trauma Doctor, George assesses the impact, concerns are raised about a spinal injury that could result in long-term damage. Meanwhile, Scott’s friend Joe, who was racing alongside him, reflects on their joint love affair of bikes and the adrenaline buzz they can’t live without.
Also in resus is 74-year-old Peter who has potentially life-threatening injuries after being crushed under an eight-tonne static caravan. While doctors investigate the extent of the internal damage to his chest, his daughter Katie reflects on her dad who is still working hard in his 70s even after a cancer diagnosis.
21-year-old hockey player Lizzie is in A&E after hurting her ankle during training. Lizzie reveals how she believes a life in boarding school away from her parents, and a father who serves in the military, has built up her resilience to help her tackle life’s ups and downs.
During September and October 2021, NUH welcomed cameras into the Emergency Department (ED) at QMC for the first series to be filmed outside of London.
A total of 24 programmes were recorded and the first 17 episodes have already been broadcast, giving viewers a look inside one of the country’s busiest accident and emergency departments.
24 Hours in A&E, which is made by The Garden, part of ITV Studios, has become one of the most popular documentary series on Channel 4, having aired more than 300 episodes.
Cameras returned to QMC in May 2023 to film another series of the award-winning documentary.
