BBC Two - Keeping Britain Alive: The NHS in a Day, Episode 7

Taking a look at the NHS beyond the hospital environment.

A day in the life of the NHS, this time beyond the hospital environment. Featuring the work of air ambulance crews, district nurses, paramedics, GPs and even students.

This episode takes a look at the NHS outside of the hospital environment, and through a vast patchwork of experiences reveals the health system's role in British lives from cradle to grave.

Featuring a Yorkshire District Nurse who spends her day changing dressings and tubes for elderly patients, a maverick GP in Everton who takes in addicts and abusive patients who have been rejected by other surgeries, and a pair of West Midlands paramedics who compare their nightshift to that of a mini-cab service. In London, the air ambulance crew rush to the scene of two serious accidents, whilst in Birmingham, a medical student makes his 16th sperm donation.

Knowledge, drama, comedy and the arts for a broad adult audience.

BBC Two is a lively channel of depth and substance, carrying a range of knowledge-building programming complemented by great drama, comedy and arts.

Capturing a single day in the NHS, filmed by 100 camera crews spread across the country.
