Ambulance UK

In this episode, one of the 187 calls West Midland Ambulance Service is dealing with at 20:31 on Saturday night, is from a distraught wife whose husband has suddenly collapsed - his heart stopped - on their lounge floor, the TV is still on. The call handler must stay cool-headed and coach the woman and her daughter over the phone in how to do CPR whilst ambulance crew Katie and Sarah race to help.

In this second episode, one hour into the night shift with West Midlands Ambulance Service and the control centre is already on its third cardiac arrest. The highly-skilled MERIT team are administering care to a patient who has been stabbed and is bleeding heavily, the fourth stabbing victim the service has dealt with so far this Friday night.

In this episode, 71-year old Mick, who's already retired once but rejoined after missing life on the road, and his crew-mate Dave are dispatched to help a woman who called for pain in her tummy, but is actually having a massive heart attack and urgently needs the expertise of the specialist Cardiac Centre at Royal Stoke Hospital.

The fourth episode follows the West Midlands Ambulance Service at the beginning of a busy Saturday night shift. There's been a nasty car accident in Warwickshire and the young driver has suffered a collapsed lung. She needs a life-saving procedure by the road-side which can only be done by a doctor.

The fifth episode sees the air ambulance dispatched to a woman who has fallen down the stairs and is struggling to breathe. On the trauma desk, Critical Care Paramedic Fay receives a call from a crew requesting the Air Ambulance attend a road accident, but with the only available helicopter on their way to the first patient, Fay faces a tough decision.

Crewmates Justin and Dawn's first job of the day starts with a call to a woman whose waters have broken - Dawn hates delivering babies, but Justin loves them and within just a couple of minutes of arriving, he's delivered the baby. Justin reveals he "used to be a butcher", but this job makes him feel "some self-worth" that he'd never felt before.

Apart from the usual areas, the service covers the rural areas of Shropshire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire. Tonight it's not the huge distances of the rural parts of the patch that are the problem - it's that several ambulances are stuck at busy Worcestershire Royal Hospital waiting to hand over their patients rather than available to treat new patients.

Last in the series. The inside story on what it is like for paramedics dealing with the fatal consequences of Storm Doris. A storm which killed four people across the UK. In the control room, they're fielding third more calls than normal caused by a surge in wind-related injuries, from a fallen tree that's trapped three people in a car, to a 94-year-old blown overfeeding the birds.
