Summary |
With a unique level of access, Great Ormond Street returns to the wards of London's foremost children's hospital. This revelatory series observes life and death decision-making by the various highly-skilled teams working on the wards, and the many challenges they face at the cutting edge of children's medicine.The third episode focuses on Great Ormond Street's heart transplant team. Every year, the number of donor hearts decreases: safer roads, better intensive care and a society reluctant to donate means fewer hearts and longer waits for children for whom transplant is the last resort. The Berlin Heart is a revolutionary machine that keeps these children alive. However, it's a precarious existence as the machine can only buy them time until the rare gift of a heart is made.PRODUCTION DETAILS:6 x 60 minutes. A Films of Record production for BBC |
