- Summary:
- This groundbreaking medical human interest series takes viewers right into the heart of the life and death decisions faced daily by staff and families at the world-renowned Great Ormond Street hospital. Children arrive with complex medical challenges, meaning staff work at the frontiers of medical knowledge and practice, often developing radical new treatments.This intimate and moving observational series focuses on three key areas, the Cardiac Unit, the Intensive Care Unit and the Renal Unit. It follows the searingly honest exchanges between top medical experts and the families themselves, as they balance the pain of the extremely sick children against the likely quality of life if the interventions succeed.
