Hospital Special: Fighting Covid-19

2×60' for BBC Two (2020)
Production Company:
Label1
Directed by: Daniel Dewsbury
Produced by: Simon Dickson / Lorraine Charker-Phillips / Jackie Waldock

Filmed inside the NHS from the first day of the lockdown - while we stayed at home, staff on the frontline went to work. Award-winning Hospital follows the human stories behind the headlines, of staff and patients alike, as they grapple with the extraordinary challenge of Covid-19, with access to the Royal Free London, a world leader in the treatment of infectious diseases.

With beds in the hospital rapidly filling with Covid-positive patients, doctors are redeployed and ICU doubles its capacity.
