This ground-breaking series used a hundred camera crews to film the NHS in a single day – from cancer units to bariatric wards, air ambulance to neurosurgery, from the remotest Scottish island to some of the busiest emergency departments.
The result captures the vivid patchwork of human experience – the grief, heroism, relief, joy, frustration, compassion, tedium and selflessness that are evident across Britain’s biggest institution every single day.
