An innovative mix of comedy performance and documentary in a series presented by Dr Phil Hammond.

As a doctor and a comedian, Phil knows that humour and laughter are vital coping mechanisms in the NHS, as he travels the UK on a mission to listen to the beating heart of a national institution.

The programmes are an adventurous, hilarious, thought-provoking mix of humour and happiness, tragedy and reflection as the personal thoughts, opinions, experiences and hopes of people who work for and use the NHS are revealed.

This time Dr Phil visits the Royal United Hospital in Bath, where he hears stories from staff and patients - as he reveals how humour and laughter are vital coping mechanisms in the NHS.

And Dr Phil performs a free stand-up comedy show for the staff based on his listening experiences in Bath and the stories of the people he has met.

Producer: David Morley

A Ride production for 大象传媒 Radio 4, first broadcast in September 2021.
