Summary The final episode of this four-part series follows staff nurse Louise and ward manager Paul as they try to care for some tricky patients - and their parents - on a busy children's ward. While hospital is supposed to sort out our medical problems, Paul and Louise find that many of their patients have issues that medicine alone cannot fix. From teenagers self-harming to serious diet-related illness, Paul and Louise find themselves being more than just nurses; but they're also social workers, baby-sitters and, at times, surrogate parents.The impact that issues at home can have on kids' mental health is something Louise is all too aware of. While she balances the demands of being a single mum and long shifts, the troubled teenagers on the ward make her constantly question how well she is doing as a mum.Meanwhile for Paul, having to deal with the consequences of bad parenting can be painfully frustrating as, despite years of unsuccessful IVF, he and his partner are unable to have children of their own.PRODUCTION DETAILS:4X 60 minutes.
