Two years after opening its doors, the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital is home to 10,000 staff and thousands of patients. In this programme, hospital staff are excited to be part of a new clinical trial which could revolutionise kidney dialysis for thousands of patients around the world, eight-year-old Charlotte has an unusual operation to enlarge her windpipe and help her avoid terrifying bouts of croup, and 50-year-old Peter has an operation to remove his brain tumour - while he is awake.

Series following the staff and patients at Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. In this edition, Rose is rushed to the hospital and waits to find out if a kidney from a deceased donor is a match for her, we meet Maureen, and her best friend Del, who is about to donate one of her kidneys to her life-long pal, and the staff in the Emergency Department are surprised to see how a man in his 50s reacts to a painkiller after he breaks his ankle skateboarding.
