Presented by Philip Boucher-Hayes and Anna Daly, Hospital Live showcases a range of Irish medical innovations and breakthroughs and imagines what healthcare might look like in the future.
This show is a timely exploration of the lives of the staff, patients, and medical innovators on the frontline of Irish medicine. The series goes behind the headlines of a system that's been under incredible pressure over the last two years yet remains a system we all rely upon.
Broadcasting from a purpose-built set on the exterior grounds of St James' Hospital in Dublin, our presenters meet patients and innovators at the cutting edge of Irish medical science.
The series also profiles contemporary medical science, development, and research. It will highlight the next generation of medical inventors hoping to make Ireland a world leader in medical science technology.
In one memorable episode, the show follows a young girl called Kaydee who has been having headaches and balance problems.
After a visit with her doctors, the family are told that Kaydee will need to have brain surgery in Children's Health Ireland at Temple St. The procedure to remedy the issue is called Foramen Magnum Decompression and involves removing small parts of the base of the skill and spine.
