Keeping Britain Alive: The NHS in a Day

Episode 6

Duration: 1 hour

First broadcast: on BBC Two HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

This film sets the increasing demands on the NHS against the very real costs of those demands. A mobile X-ray lab tours the streets of London to deal with the rise in TB among the homeless community. As Bristol GP Liz struggles to solve complex problems in the prescribed 10-minute time slot, a Liverpool neurosurgeon prices up her theatre equipment in the hope of reining her colleagues in, and in south London, an Overseas Manager walks the wards seeking out health tourists, those non-UK residents using the NHS for free when they should be footing the bill. And meanwhile yet another baby is born. Show less
