A graduate nurse drives a wedge between Den and Kim. Pippa must re-apply for her own job.

Darkly comic series set in an NHS Trust hospital ward. A graduate nurse drives a wedge between Den and Kim, while Pippa suffers the indignity of re-applying for her own job.

Darkly comic series that offers a glimpse inside a world a million miles away from traditional hospital dramas. This is the dull, dreary, dog end of the health service with paperwork to fill in, bottoms to wipe and the drama played out in a thousand tiny acts of revenge and kindness, shining a light on the way workplace relationships play out and mapping out the life of a hospital through six shifts (five days and one night) on B4 ward.

A graduate nurse drives a wedge between Den and Kim, and Hilary's elaborate new hand washing protocols hardly help matters. Pippa suffers the indignity of re-applying for her own job. Luckily, Kim and Den find a way of cheering things up, even if Dr Moore may not see the funny side.

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.
