24 Hours in A&E

The programme tracks a 47‑year‑old man who is airlifted to St George’s Hospital after sustaining severe injuries to his arm and leg. He was knocked off his motorbike while commuting to work, and the rapid response underscores the critical care he receives.

The programme is a short documentary‑style episode that follows a single individual through a medical emergency. It centres on a 47‑year‑old man, with the camera crew tracking his experience from the moment of injury right through to his arrival at hospital. The focus is on the real‑time unfolding of events rather than on scripted drama. The story begins as the man is knocked off his motorbike while commuting to work. The impact leaves him with severe injuries to both his arm and his leg, injuries described as critical. Because of the seriousness of his condition, emergency services decide to airlift him, and he is transferred by helicopter to St George’s Hospital for specialist care. The episode captures the emergency response, showing the rapid mobilisation of medical personnel and the helicopter evacuation. Viewers see the logistical steps taken to stabilise the patient before the flight and the urgency with which the team works to preserve his life and limb. The camera work stays close to the action, providing a clear picture of the procedures involved in moving a critically injured patient. Once at St George’s, the programme continues to document his admission, highlighting the hospital’s role in managing such high‑risk trauma. The narrative remains tightly focused on his condition, the medical interventions, and the overall journey from the roadside crash to the intensive care environment.
