Dr Pete Turkington, Chief Officer and Medical Director, said:

“As a busy organisation, it’s never an easy decision to open up your doors to film crews but we think the programme provides a really honest and interesting insight into the life of a trainee doctor.

“The programme really took me back to my own training days and how exciting and inspiring it is once you’ve left medical school and you’re continuing your learning and development on placement, applying your skills as a qualified doctor to treat and care for patients with a range of health problems and conditions, many of whom are acutely ill and vulnerable.

“Being a doctor is fantastic and rewarding, and I really hope the programme helps our younger generation to consider medicine as a possible career path.”

All four episodes of the programme are now available to watch on BBC iPlayer
