In this episode, we follow crews from Paisley, Glasgow and Edinburgh as they respond to high-pressure 999 calls, 24 hours a day. And we are with Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance in Perth as they serve those in the remotest parts of Scotland. And we see the special operations response teams deal with the most serious emergencies.

In the Highlands, the air ambulance is scrambled to an emergency involving a deer manager who has been crushed by his own quad bike. He needs to be airlifted to hospital fast. Meanwhile, in Glasgow the special operations team race to locate a man who has been seen swimming in the Clyde, and another who has gone missing in water.

An elderly man has fallen at home and needs to be carefully lifted, checked and hospitalised by the west's divisional team. In Paisley, a moped rider has crashed into a fence and needs treatment for a suspected broken leg. In the countryside, a fisherman has had a stroke in a remote location and needs to be rescued by the special operations team using their special off-road vehicle. And in Edinburgh, ambulance crew Dan and Colin have a request to take a patient across the city to get the treatment she needs, while specialist paramedic Mat treats an elderly man who has fallen in a community centre and has a nasty cut on his head.
