Episode 10 of 10

Behind the scenes at the UK's most remote hospital. The latest crop of junior doctors are taken to the tiny island of Oxna as part of their induction to Shetland life.

Offshore worker Tony is evacuating to the Gilbert Bain with severe abdominal pain. Dr Lalla diagnoses appendicitis and Tony is rushed to theatre, where surgeon Mr Gordon McFarlane is assisted by surgical trainee Dr Jemma Langschmidt. Two ambulances and a ferry were needed to get Ingrid from Whalsay to A&E. She was knocked unconscious when a horse kicked the metal door of a horsebox into her face. Senior charge nurse Aimee Sutherland assesses the damage.

And on a stunning summer's evening, the latest crop of junior doctors are taken to the tiny island of Oxna as part of their induction to Shetland life.
