For Ep2 of #Breathtaking we choreographed and filmed an emergency proning in ITU, captured here in a real life setting by anaesthetist/photographer @drjdwilliamson . It’s a meticulous and tiring process taking 7 members of staff to do it safely. (Patient permissions obtained)

#BREATHTAKING Ep3 is all about difficult conversations. To do the script justice, @AndrewCinnamond and I spent time with the cast getting the tone right- breaking bad news to patients and relatives, assertive discussions with colleagues, advocacy for patients. Tune in 9pm @ITV

@MichaelRosenYes @WhitHealth I’d like that very much! Doctors working in ITU often don’t get to follow up with their patients once they’re well again. It’s so valuable for both clinician and patient.
