Product Overview
Please note: This study guide contains two versions – a full-colour guide and a text-only version for printing and referencing.
Our public health system is under pressure like never before. Reports of staffing shortages, nursing resignations, strikes and high rates of burnout all point to a system that is on the brink. But what is it really like to work on the hospital frontline? In the second series of The Hospital: In the Deep End, three new celebrities work alongside the frontline staff at two of Australia’s busiest public hospitals – St Vincent’s Melbourne and St Vincent’s Sydney – to discover what it really takes to save a life.
This season, former tennis pro and commentator, Jelena Dokic, Hollywood actress and presenter, Ruby Rose, and food writer and TV host, Matt Preston, each with a deeply personal connection to the public health system and a desire to witness first-hand the challenges it faces, step onto the hospital frontline.
Please note that this study guide only covers Episode 1 of Season 2 of The Hospital: Into the Deep End.
