A new observational documentary capturing the day-to-day realities that face the NHS starts tonight on BBC Two.
The documentary follows the staff of Royal Free London two years on from when the camera first visited the trust as it entered the first lockdown.
Now the hospital is implementing its recovery program whilst it tackles the longest waiting list ever seen in the NHS's history.
It follows pressures of surgery and a never-ending queue of ambulances outside A&E each with a patient waiting to be helped.
It comes after six million people are waiting for non-emergency operations, including, dancer Lauren whose career has been on hold for years as she waits for a procedure on her leg.
Another real-life story shown in the documentary is of Nurse Rebecca, who has been diagnosed with rare cancer that needs urgent treatment before it spreads.
How to watch Hospital:
The new documentary starts at 9pm on Thursday, March 24 on BBC Two and on BBC iPlayer.
The show is a one-hour special created by the team by many loved and acclaimed documentary makers.
