The controlled chaos of the emergency room returns to Channel 4 this Tuesday with a new episode of 24 Hours in A&E, airing at 9 PM GMT. This week, the focus shifts to the major trauma centre at Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham, where staff are grappling with a surge in patient numbers.
The episode follows the frantic pace of critical care as doctors and nurses tackle a range of emergencies. A high-speed car crash brings in Jeremy and Patricia, both with serious injuries. Jeremy’s history of cancer complicates matters. Meanwhile, Patricia’s spinal injury requires careful assessment.
Elsewhere in the ER, Andrew, 45, arrives after falling three meters from a ladder at work, resulting in a severely fractured ankle that needs immediate attention before surgery.
The fly-on-the-wall documentary series has long been a staple of Channel 4’s programming, providing an unflinching look at life—and sometimes death—inside Britain’s busiest A&E departments.
24 Hours in A&E airs Tuesday at 9:00 PM GMT on Channel 4.
