King's Channel 4 documentary is a must see.
Filmed at King's College Hospital in south London over a period of 28 days,24Hours in A&E consists of 14, one hour episodes filmed using 70 fixed cameras. The documentary series is the largest Channel 4 has ever made.
The series which is a great hit with viewers and critics enables viewers to see the unique set of challenges that King's A&E staff face as they treat the 350 patients that come through its doors every day.
The programmes show the way King's staff work together as a team to treat seriously ill patients involved in road traffic accidents and violent assaults, as well as those patients accessing treatment for minor injuries such as scrapes and cuts and bruises.
Malcolm Tunnicliff, Consultant and clinical lead for the Emergency Department at King's, said the series would educate and inform viewers:
"The series shows that working in an Accident and Emergency Department is incredibly challenging, but also very rewarding. Capturing on film the real mix of cases seen every day - and the efforts our staff make to try and put people back on their feet - will help educate the public about what we do here at King's."
