Emergency 24/7, which airs at 9pm, explores the highs and lows of acute patient care at Southmead Hospital.

Anna Bell, matron for the emergency department at Southmead Hospital, said: ‘As an emergency department team, we feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to shine a light on the delivery of emergency care within our NHS. We feel the documentary has genuinely understood and captured the complexity of how care is delivered, and the quite extraordinary teamwork that takes place across our hospital every single day to save lives and care for people.

‘What perhaps comes across most strongly is the dedication, compassion and grace of our teams, who continue to deliver exceptional care in some of the most challenging circumstances and under immense pressure. It is an honour and a privilege to look after people when they are at their most vulnerable, often on what may be the worst day of their lives, and to be able to be there for them when they need us most.

‘We are incredibly proud of our teams and grateful that the documentary has given people an opportunity to see not only the pressures of emergency care, but the humanity, skill and commitment behind it.'

You can watch Emergency 24/7 on BBC Two on Tuesday 18 August at 9pm and on BBC iPlayer.
