Synopsis

The documentary series that reveals modern Britain through the eyes of our ambulance staff concludes with an episode focusing on babies - from births to overprotective parents and from very poorly children to those facing neglect and abuse. Across the UK 2200 women go into labour every day. Most make it to hospital, but for those who can't the ambulance service is there to help. The programme features call handlers talking worried partners through what to do while ambulance crews race to help deliver the baby. When the medics leave it's up to the parents to look after their bundles of joy. However, some parents overreact and call 999 at the first sign of a cough or a bump to the head - there's been a 42% increase in parents seeking emergency medical help for routine childhood complaints in the ten years from 2003. But at the opposite end of the spectrum, reports of child neglect rose 30% between 2012 and 2013, and it's often paramedics who are first to step in.
