St George’s major trauma teams feature in a brand-new ground-breaking documentary series airing every night from Monday 28 February – Thursday 3 March on Channel 4 at 9pm.

This is the first time a UK medical documentary series has broadcast on consecutive nights ever.

St George’s is one of the four Major Trauma Centres in London featured in the new series, alongside King’s College, St Mary’s and The Royal London hospitals as well as London’s Air Ambulance and William Harvey Hospital’s trauma unit in Ashford.

Filmed in the busiest trauma month of 2021’s summer, the series takes a closer look at London’s Major Trauma Network following the minute-by-minute decisions made by teams at St George’s, and the other Major Trauma Network teams, as they treat the most critically injured patients.

The series shows the pioneering care and treatment trauma patients receive, from roadside critical interventions through resus to ICU and from surgery to rehabilitation to reflect the variety of specialist treatment that goes into saving patients’ lives and putting them back together again.
