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.
In one exciting episode, Dr Pamela Evans, Clinical Lead for CAR T Service, told viewers about a new treatment for cancer called chimeric antigen receptor (better known as CAR T-Cell therapy).
This treatment works by harnessing the power of the patient's own immune system to fight the disease.
"It's probably the biggest advance in our treatment of Leukemia for a generation," says Dr Evans.
"This therapy is providing a potential cure for children for whom there was no other treatment option."
