While hospitals have been under strain since last March because of Covid-19, staff are still tasked with looking after a stream of sick and injured patients, as well as a constant stream of drunk and unruly people entering the A&E.
A&E After Dark s new season, airing tonight at 9pm on Channel 5, follows the night team at the Hull University Teaching Hospital as they try to provide care to emergency patients in the time of Covid-19.
Filmed during the autumn before the current lockdown, staf wearing PPE speak candidly of the challenges of providing the best care possible to all patients who range from disruptive to those who didn t want to come to hospital at all.
