Episode 4

With the pressures and demands building, Luke has a difficult decision to make, and Tom faces the harsh reality of life in A&E.

Over the past few months, the junior doctors have continued to learn on the job and have become more confident. But as they near the end of their time on their wards, the pressure is on as they are expected to take on even more responsibility.

It’s all change for second-year doctor Luke as his more experienced colleagues leave the ENT department, meaning he will need to work more independently. Unsure if ENT is the specialty for him, Luke takes a trip back home to Derry to seek advice from his GP father.

Second-year doctor Tom has been working in Salford Royal’s A&E department, which provides treatment to over 80,000 patients per year, and the emotional pressure is beginning to take its toll. First-year doctor Zohaib has to lead a family discussion about how to treat an elderly patient should her condition deteriorate. Although routine, discussing how to treat, and whether to resuscitate, a patient is a sensitive matter. Zohaib has learnt to appreciate the unique complexities and rewards of the geriatrics ward, but will he be able to lead this sensitive discussion alone?
