The crew respond to a young boy with a rare heart condition who has had a seizure.

In this episode, we follow ambulance crews in Aberdeenshire, Edinburgh and Paisley, and the special operations response teams as they deal with the most serious calls.

In Aberdeen, ambulance crew Sarah and Stewart are called to a lady who has fallen at home and needs to be checked over, while not too far away, near Peterhead, an elderly patient who has difficulties moving needs to be transferred to hospital. Ambulance crew Ricky and Luan use their skills to help him safely into the ambulance.

Outside Glasgow, Special Operations paramedic Brian gets a call to a woman with breathing problems, which could be a sign of something serious. Later, he is called to help his colleagues at a bus crash in Glasgow that has left a few passengers injured.

In Edinburgh, Moira and Blair are called to a lady who has collapsed on Princes Street and needs to be taken to hospital. In Paisley, Gary and Pete respond to a call about a young boy with a rare heart condition who has had a seizure and needs to be checked in hospital. And back in Aberdeen, paramedic Nick struggles to get an intravenous line into a seriously ill patient.
