Episode 1
In a remote rural location, a small child falls in a loch, triggering a huge emergency response, and a motorway crash sees several people hospitalised, including a pregnant woman.
The Scottish Ambulance Service serves a population of over five million, from remote islands to busy cities. Its paramedics are first on the scene at medical emergencies right across the country.
In this episode, we follow crews from Paisley, Glasgow and Edinburgh as they respond to high-pressure 999 calls, 24 hours a day, and we鈥檙e with the Special Operations Response teams as they deal with the most serious emergencies. In the Pentland Hills, the ambulance crew struggle to find a hiker who has fallen ill. In Glasgow, a crash on the motorway sees several casualties hospitalised including a pregnant woman. In Edinburgh, ambulance crew Stephen and Gwion are called to a festival worker who needs treatment for a reaction to a bee sting, and just outside the city, a woman has a suspected broken arm after a fall in the street. In the west, a sepsis case at a GP surgery needs emergency treatment and a fast transfer to hospital, and in a remote rural location, a small child has fallen in a loch, triggering a huge emergency response.
