A TV series that reveals the real-life medical drama of the NHS returns to ITV Tyne Tees on Monday.
ITV Tyne Tees cameras have been filming with paramedics from the North East Ambulance Service, and staff at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, in Gateshead, for the latest series of Emergency.
The programmes feature paramedics Jayne Collins and Brian Nixon, who handle a series of difficult cases including life or death incidents, a seriously burned toddler, and the distress of a family whose pet dog has died.
In the first of the eight-part series, Ms Collins says her decision to become a paramedic was inspired by watching Casualty.
