Keeping Britain Alive: The NHS in a Day is an epic eight-part observational documentary starting Tuesday 26 March at 9pm on BBC2.
It tells the stories of a single 24-hour period in the NHS from a multitude of perspectives, following a diverse range of staff, and patients.
The OU team working on the series say it is of particular interest to Health and Social Care students, as it takes a broad view of health care delivery that moves beyond the ‘typical’ doctor-led focus in acute care to explore the relationships between service users and providers.
OU academic advising on the series are Dr Carol Komaromy and Dr Jonathan Leach.
