A series in six daily parts The Team on B6
'If the doctors had to clean up the vomit they might think twice about some of their treatments,' says
Vivien Hancock who heads the team on ward B6 in Whipps Cross Hospital in London's East End.
While doctors make the major decisions about treatment, it's nurses who deal with suffering on a day-to-day basis.
This film follows events on the ward from the nurses' point of view. Through them, experience the humour and sadness of a large general ward.
