“24 Hours in A&E” returns with another raw and unflinching look at life inside Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham. This week’s episode captures the highs and lows of a busy A&E shift, from life-threatening emergencies to moments of quiet reflection.
The episode follows the case of 35-year-old Richard, who arrives at Queen’s after collapsing at home. Doctors suspect organ failure, and as they work to stabilize him, Richard’s mother, Janette, shares the heartbreaking story of how the loss of his cousin impacted Richard’s mental health. The episode also features Colin, who arrives with a deep slice to his hand after an accident with a Stanley knife.
As the medical team attends to these patients, Advanced Clinical Practitioner Marijke, working in the paediatrics department, reflects on her journey to becoming a medic in the UK. Her story takes a poignant turn as she discusses how Brexit challenged her sense of identity and belonging. Airing against the backdrop of the King’s Coronation, this episode of “24 Hours in A&E” captures the human stories that play out within the hospital walls.
