Saving Lives in Leeds
Life-changing operations, difficult dilemmas. Lifting the lid on the heart-rending, hard-headed decisions doctors must make before tackling the day job of changing people’s lives.

Capturing the life and death decisions and moments that the NHS tackle daily, balancing access and relationships under enormous pressure.
