Summary:

There are health and social care workers all over the country, providing care and support for everyone from new-born babies to the old and infirm. Together with some handy hints about nutrition and crucial first aid skills, these short films shine a light on some of the outstanding care which is on offer in a range of environments, from hospitals to homes, and nurseries to care homes.It focuses on the care workers who make these places tick, and profiles a range of them. Becky the midwife shows us a day in the life of St. Thomas's Hospital maternity ward, and takes us on her rounds to show us how a home visit works. We also see how carers inside a care home work on a daily basis, and what makes their jobs worthwhile. And of course no programme like this would be complete without hearing from the recipients of these different sorts of care across the board, so we find out why they need the care that is provided for them.
