BBC Two - Hospital, Series 7, Episode 1

With their critical care unit at capacity, University Hospital fights to restore services.

University Hospital Coventry fights to restore services, but with their critical care unit at capacity, a decision is taken to ration intensive care beds for major operations.

Hospital tells the story of the NHS in unprecedented times - a year spent reacting to the pandemic, which has left nearly five million people waiting for treatment in England alone. In determining who to treat first, doctors are forced to take incredibly difficult decisions as they battle to save lives and fight for patients to have the treatment they desperately need.

This episode captures the NHS at a pivotal moment, when access to care has never been more fraught. It focuses on the Trust – University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire - that delivered the world's first Covid-19 vaccine outside of a trial.
