24 Hours in A&E

The programme tracks a woman who is taken to A&E after being thrown from a high‑speed go‑kart, and a man who becomes stuck with his finger caught between two shopping trolleys. Both incidents are captured by the cameras as the emergencies unfold.

The broadcast is a single‑episode programme that uses a “cameras‑follow” format to document urgent medical cases as they unfold. It falls under the episode genre and centres on real‑time incidents that end up in an Accident & Emergency department, giving viewers a front‑row seat to the chaos and quick decisions that define emergency care. In the first segment, the cameras trail a woman who has been hurled from a go‑kart travelling at speed. The impact sends her straight to A&E, where staff must assess and treat injuries that result from being flung at such velocity. The footage captures her hurried arrival, the initial assessment, and the medical team’s response to the trauma caused by the high‑speed accident. The second story shifts focus to a man who has accidentally trapped his finger between two shopping trolleys. The cameras stay with him as he is rushed to the same emergency department, where clinicians work to free the digit and manage any damage caused by the compression. The segment highlights the immediacy of the situation and the practical steps taken to alleviate his injury. Both narratives are linked by the programme’s continuous camera work, which follows each patient from the moment of injury through their entry into A&E. By presenting these two distinct emergencies side by side, the episode offers a concise glimpse into the varied challenges faced by emergency services on any given day.
