Synopsis

News headlines constantly tell us our public health system and its workers are at breaking point. But what’s it really like to work on the hospital frontline? In this ground-breaking series three Australian icons with a unique connection to the health system go beyond the headlines to find out. TV presenter and food and travel writer Melissa Leong, host of Gardening Australia Costa Georgiadis and actor Samuel Johnson are thrown out of their comfort zones and onto St Vincent’s hospital’s frontline. Real and raw, emotional and enlightening, The Hospital: In the Deep End will have you seeing these icons and our public health system as you’ve never seen them before.
