Island Medics

Cutdowns: Episode 3 (1x13)

Air date: Jun 22, 2018

In this episode the island's new crop of junior doctors arrive in Shetland - we see their first days and how they adjust to a very different type of medicine from what they're used to. Junior and newcomer, doctor Wilson, is thrown in at the deep end with two serious cases that arrive simultaneously into Accident and Emergency. Doctor Wilson will need to use all his skills and rely on the vast experience of Shetland's native nursing staff if he is to provide the care the NHS expects. Away from the hospital, we meet the doctor working on Unst - the most northerly practice in the United Kingdom. And two of the new junior doctors take to the water to try out a popular Shetland hobby.
