Overview
This Channel 4 documentary series gives viewers behind the scenes access to King's College Hospital in Camberwell and currently St George's Hospital Accident & Emergency Department, in Tooting, SW London. Series 1 aired every Wednesday 9pm and consisted of 14 one-hour episodes. The filming took place over 28 days using 70 fixed cameras and is the largest documentary series Channel 4 has ever made.
The series enables viewers to see the unique set of challenges - including the highs and lows - that King's A&E staff face as they treat the 350 patients that come through its doors every day.
The episodes show how the staff work as a team to treat those patients present involved in a full range of minor and serious medical conditions such as road traffic accidents, violent assaults, and scrapes and cuts and bruises. The fly-on-the-wall footage is intercut with subsequent interviews with staff, patients and relatives giving their perspectives and background on the events shown.
Filming for the second series ended in March 2012. It began broadcasting on 16 May 2012, again appearing in the Wednesday 9pm slot.
24 Hours in A&E returned for a third series on 10 April 2013 at 9pm and a fourth series began on 13 November 2013 at 9pm. The fifth and sixth series aired during 2014.

The production company behind the series (The Garden Productions Limited) have also made a four-part observational documentary series about mental health. Two years in the making, Bedlam was filmed within clinical services provided by South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM). Both SLaM and King's College Hospital are part of King's Health Partners Academic Health Sciences Centre.
Keeping Britain Alive: The NHS in a Day, also made by The Garden Productions, but for BBC Two, was based on the inverse premise to 24 Hours in A&E: instead of observing different days in a single institution, the eight-part series followed the work of a variety of NHS services on a single day, Thursday 18 October 2012. The series aired from March 2013.
Due to the success of 24 Hours in A&E, Channel 4 commissioned a series with the same format that follows police officers in Luton, called 24 Hours in Police Custody.
