Emergency Department on the new series of A&E After Dark
Our Emergency Department will be back on national television in the New Year in the latest series of A&E After Dark.
The first episode is due to air at 9pm on Thursday 2 January on 5Star and will feature life behind the scenes on night shifts at NNUH.
The A&E After Dark production team spent five weeks at our ED in the summer as well as at hospitals in Birmingham and Tunbridge Wells.
The documentary series, which features 12 episodes, filmed the whole multi-disciplinary team in ED and includes a range of patient stories, including major trauma cases, road traffic collisions, dog bites, dislocations, heart conditions and head injuries.
Johnny Wells, Senior ED Matron, said: “It has been great to be involved in this new series to give a behind the scenes view of what happens in a busy Emergency Department and the challenges we face.”
“Working in an Emergency Department is hugely rewarding, but also comes with its challenges and pressures and we hope the series will raise awareness of the realities and the importance of only attending ED with life-threatening and serious conditions.”
ED is for medical emergencies – if you are not sure, visit 111.nhs.uk, or call NHS 111. Your local pharmacy, GP or minor injuries unit might be the right place for your healthcare needs.
