At Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, an engaging, funny and dedicated team of nurses reveal the realities of life on the ward. Paediatric nurse Mahbuba treats a girl with a brain tumour.

Paediatric nurse Mahbuba deals with an emergency - a baby who can't breathe - while Rebecca treats a deaf cardiac patient and military nurse Scott cares for a struggling asthmatic.

Renal nurse Neil treats a 19-year-old whose kidney transplant is failing, and on the surgical ward, Kat cares for a man recovering from a bowel cancer operation.

One of Advanced Nurse Practitioner Caroline's patients is deteriorating rapidly and she must make a very difficult call to his wife to explain the perilous situation.

Renal nurse Neil treats a dialysis patient with a blood clot on the brain, midwife Amy delivers a baby with a falling heart rate and Matron Hazera's last shift isn't going to plan.

In Paediatrics, Mahbuba treats a two-year-old with a high temperature, while Cardiac nurse Rebecca prepares for an emergency admission.
