Casualty 24/7: Every Second Counts: Channel 5 series takes viewers behind the scenes where 67-year-old is rushed to Yorkshire hospital with suspected sepsis
On the next episode of Casualty 24/7: Every Second Counts a woman is rushed to Barnsley Casualty in critical condition with suspected sepsis.
At Barnsley Casualty it’s a busy start for Sister Christie and Lead Nurse Steph. Ambulances are rushing in fast.
A new rule that ambulance crews must hand over patients within 45 minutes is creating extra pressure. Operational support manager Antonia joins the floor to support the team.
Paramedics are bringing in a woman with suspected sepsis. Dianne, 67, was rushed in from her GP surgery.
Doctor Charlotte Underwood will be in charge of her care. Dianne’s condition could become critical if Dr Charlotte doesn’t act fast.
Next to arrive is 81-year-old Pat who has multiple injuries following her second fall in a week. Last time it was her right leg, this time it’s her left leg and both her arms. Pat is in the hands of Sister Georgia and advanced clinical practitioner Maddie.
In the paediatric department, nine-year-old Archy has hurt his ankle playing in his garden. He’s with mum Belinda. Gemma, who is also an advanced clinical practitioner, assesses the injury and sends him for an x-ray.
Next in the hospital is a 73-year-old man with atrial fibrillation - an irregular heartbeat. Brian has just had open heart surgery and was only discharged from hospital yesterday. His irregular heartbeat puts him at risk of having a stroke. Consultant doctor Liz needs to quickly find the cause.
The next episode of Casualty 24/7: Every Second Counts will air on Channel 5 on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at 9pm.
