Synopsis

Drama about a group of trainee nurses starting work in a London hospital. Michaela Lennox, a 22-year-old nurse, finishes writing a letter and takes a large number of pills. She is found unconscious in the morning by Alan McPherson, to whom the letter was written. Meanwhile, Kelly Booth has a disciplinary hearing at another London hospital and is told she has been transfered to The Gilmore. She meets Sunil Rai at her farewell drink. Alice Timpson is also tranferred to the Gilmore because her hospital is closing down. Cassie Naylor, at 39, is older than the other nurses, and gets herself transferred to The Gilmore because she plans to leave her abusive husband.
