'Dream job at baby unit that saved my life'

Born at just 24 weeks, Sophie Proud was for a long time Britain's youngest surviving premature baby.
Twenty years later, the Teesside University student has started a student placement - as a nurse - at that very same unit at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary.
She told the programme it was a "dream come true" to be working there; while one of the staff members at the neonatal unit Dr Nick Embleton explained how he'd kept in touch with Sophie and her mum Janette.
