New episode of 24 Hours in A&E: My Happy Place
Filmed in the autumn of 2020, the RTS award-winning documentary series returns for a twenty ninth series following patients treated in the same 24-hour period at St George’s in south-west London. The hospital has one of the busiest A&E departments in Britain – a place where stories of life, love and loss unfold every day.
This episode follows patients and staff at St. George’s who find comfort in difficult times amongst colleagues and friends.

Meanwhile, 59-year-old James has severely dislocated his shoulder after falling over. He’s joined in resus by his closest friend Karen, who helped James recover after he suffered from a serious assault several years ago.
30-year-old Lucas has come to St. Georges after developing a suspected urinary tract infection. Lucas tells us how he was born with major issues with his kidneys and bladder, and how a lifetime of treatment has changed his perspective on hospitals.
