Ambulance

Series 6: Episode 4

It’s payday weekend for millions of Londoners, and the 370 ambulance crews on duty are busy caring for the capital. Thirty minutes into the night shift, police request urgent assistance at the scene of a stabbing – a man has called to say his mum has been stabbed. On arrival they find she is in cardiac arrest. \n\nAcross town Josh and Vinny are dealing with more practical issues. They have been dispatched to their first patient of the night - a woman who has collapsed in a casino. But to reach her, they need to first navigate Leicester Square, which is thronged with revellers. \n\nFour hours into the shift, calls are beginning to stack up. Ambulance crew Stuart and Rachel are sent to a grandmother with chest pains who has been waiting 23 minutes for an ambulance. Whilst on their way, the patient’s son calls again saying his mum has deteriorated and there is no alternative but to start CPR over the phone. \n\nThe attentions of the control team are torn between a 999 call for a patient who has reportedly been shot ten times and reports of fight involving seven people in central London. Incident response officer Pete and paramedic Kieran are dispatched to the scene of the fight, where they need to navigate the language barrier to unpick exactly what has happened. \n\nShortly after midnight, reports come in that two people have been shot. Once again, Pete is dispatched to manage the scene. On arrival he decides there is no time to waste and the patients need to get to hospital immediately. Pete reflects on how London has changed and why he decided to move his family out of London to escape the violence, even though he has continued to work in the city.
