Two years after opening its doors, the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital is home to 10,000 staff and thousands of patients. In this programme, a 12-strong trauma team assemble as George is helicoptered to the rooftop helipad. He's been in a head-on collision with a lorry near Loch Fyne and is dangerously unstable. In the children's hospital, Connor, an 18 year old with leukaemia, faces an agonising decision: whether to have a stem cell transplant that gives him a chance of cure but means his college course will be disrupted, or to opt for chemotherapy that would allow him to continue with his busy life - but is unlikely to rid him of his leukaemia. We meet Davey, one of the 200 porters who are the worker bees of the hospital, walking miles every shift; and baby Fynn who, at 18 weeks old, can now have his cleft lip and palate repaired under anaesthetic by the top plastic surgeons in the country.
