At Aintree Hospital's major trauma centre, a 15-strong team try to save the life of a young man who has arrived by emergency helicopter.

Across the city at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, staff deal with a homeless man who has been returning for at least 18 years. He is always treated with patience and dignity and given somewhere to sleep his alcohol or substance misuse.

The final episode looks at radical new treatments and surgeries offering cancer patients hopes of survival, including two-year-old Yeshua, who has a tumour in his abdomen. In Iraq, where he was born, Yeshua was given a five per cent chance of survival. Though high doses of chemotherapy have shrunk the tumour over the past six months, in order for Yeshua to survive he needs an extremely complicated 12-hour operation at Alder Hey Children's Hospital to remove as much of the growth as possible.
