Staff at the Southern General and Victoria Infirmary prepare for the big move.

Following the staff and patients moving into the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Staff at the Southern General and Victoria Infirmary prepare for the big move.

Scotland's Superhospital follows the staff and patients at four of Glasgow's oldest hospitals as they leave their old iconic buildings behind, and all move into one brand new state-of-the-art superhospital. When it opens, the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital will become one of the largest hospitals in Europe. It's a hugely ambitious project, which it's hoped will revolutionise healthcare in the west of Scotland. But will four into one really go? Only time will tell.

Episode one joins the staff of the first two hospitals to close - the Southern General and Victoria Infirmary - six weeks before the big move. In ward four of the Southern, sister Susan Montgomery prepares her nursing staff for a huge change - the move from open-plan wards to single-room accommodation in the new hospital. 

In A&E at the Victoria, senior staff nurse Mel White reflects on leaving the place she's worked in for 43 years to make the move to the huge new emergency department. Moving hundreds of patients across the city will be the largest operation of its kind ever undertaken in Britain. Their arrival in the new building will be the beginning of a new chapter in healthcare in the city.
