Critical: Between Life and Death

Raw, honest and a reminder how lucky we are in the UK having some of the best trauma units in the world. If you don't like seeing scenes of trauma and surgeries, watch this with caution. This is a great insight on our great NHS and just shows how professional, dedicated and human every member of staff are.

If you aren't prepared to see the behind the scenes of trauma care - I would suggest watching something else. However this show immerses you so well into a glimpse of what these professionals experience every single day. It is heartwarming, thrilling and such a great watch. Would definitely recommend watching it.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Definitely binge worthy in my opinion! It's a very up close and personal experience with the real life super heroes of the London Trauma centers. Everything from the paramedics picking serious trauma victims up to the real time life & limb saving surgeries. There are definitely some very gruesome scenes so just close your eyes during those parts if you get squeamish.

The series is very similar to the fantastic British television program A&E, but with a look behind the scenes. Everything is shown, from shattered lower legs to surgery on a shattered eye socket. You have to be able to handle it, but it has increased my existing respect for all the medical staff even more. Moreover, the personal stories of the patients' families are indispensable, and it gives the patient a face.

This programme showcases the amazing NHS staff who deal with a variety of complex cases multiple times of day. The skill and ability of all the medical staff shown is exceptional. As a Brit I am exceptionally proud of our NHS and the amazing people that work so hard to help everyone. We area leading example to the rest of the world. I hope that if I ever have the need I that I get to encounter any of the doctors and nurses in this programme. What an amazing example of excellence.
