Channel Seven’s top-rating reality series MEDICAL EMERGENCY will return to our screens next week.

Following the raw emotion and life threatening decisions faced by patients and staff in the emergency department of The Alfred Hospital’s Emergency and Trauma Centre and Sandringham and District Memorial Hospital in Melbourne.

The fourth dramatic series returns on Tuesday June 3 at 9.30pm, following All Saints.

Narrated by actor Chris Gabardi, MEDICAL EMERGENCY was the number one medical show last year, with an average audience of over 1.4 million viewers.

“Medical Emergency highlights the incredible spirit of ordinary people placed in extremely difficult situations”, says Chris. “It also displays the exceptional quality of work from our doctors, nurses and ambulance officers. The series showcases such incredible fighting qualities in patients and family members, and gives you a fascinating insight into what really goes on behind the doors of the emergency department. After many years on All Saints, I have gained enormous respect for the people who work in these areas and Medical Emergency highlights the incredible work they do.”

MEDICAL EMERGENCY provides an insight into how patients and their concerned loved ones cope in extraordinary situations. From basic wound injuries to major traumas and life threatening surgery, viewers are also invited to take an unprecedented behind the scenes look at how emergency staff cope in these situations.

MEDICAL EMERGENCY aims to break new ground in Australian television by providing viewers with an unprecedented insight into the trauma and emergency wards as well perceptive stories with the Metropolitan Ambulance Service and Air Ambulance Service.

A Channel Seven production team spent several months at The Alfred Hospital and Sandringham and District Memorial Hospital working closely with staff to ensure that patient care and privacy remains the highest priority throughout the duration of this project.

MEDICAL EMERGENCY returns to Tuesday nights at 9.30pm on Channel Seven.
