Sky News was live to see how one A&E department was coping and dealing with pressures on its staff and services. The Sky News team had full access to the major and minor incidents departments, trauma, resuscitation and children’s A&E, plus East Midlands Ambulance service.
The Queen’s Medical Centre is one of the busiest A&Es and regularly sees 600 patients a day. It is also a major trauma centre and the hub for serious multiple injury in the East Midlands, and Sunday’s are their busiest day of the week.
The BBC News Channel have started using news slides for their brief “across the UK and around the world” segments.
