Filming in Portsmouth concluded earlier than scheduled in March as the coronavirus outbreak in the UK escalated.
Emergency care assistant, Ali Alves said it was a ‘privilege’ to be able to share the stories she experiences on her shifts that take across Portsmouth.
Ali said: ‘I’m really proud to work as an emergency care assistant for SCAS and feel it has been a privilege to be involved with the programme to show the general public just what our day involves. Every shift there are some incredible stories to tell, although sometimes they can be full of sadness as well as joy.
