A DOCUMENTARY following three trainee surgeons as they work at a Surrey NHS Trust will air next week.

Starting next Monday at 10.35pm on ITV1, Surgery School is a three-part documentary following the surgeons at the Epsom and St Helier NHS Trust.

Shane Degaris, the trust's deputy chief executive, said: "Every day, our doctors, nurses and other members of staff work incredibly hard to give our patients the best care possible, and a lot of that hard work is done behind the scenes."

The trainee surgeons it follows are Rose Johns, Andy Al Rais and Nicola Robertson (pictured) as they begin their first year in surgical training at the trust.

The first episode shows the surgeons taking part in their first operations, tackling the problems of a busy operating theatre.
