Inside the Operating Theatre

The team at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Norfolk deals with everything from hearts to hernias, sterilisations to squints – and many operations in between. This series that shows lives being changed right in front of viewers’ eyes. For the first time ever, an NHS day surgery unit, its dedicated staff, and even its beds have been rigged with cameras to give a unique view of what goes on behind ward curtains, inside the anaesthetic room and under the knife.
