The Walton Centre to feature in the second series of Trauma Room One

The Walton Centre, the UK’s only specialist trust dedicated to neuroscience, will once again be featured in hit 5 documentary series Trauma Room One, an in-depth series exploring the complex world of neurosurgery.

After the initial series in autumn 2023, the eight-part series was then repeated on 5 in spring 2024. The series, produced by Renegade Stories, follows the multi-disciplinary neurosurgical teams based at The Walton Centre, covering a range of complex and lifesaving procedures, from time-critical thrombectomies for stroke patients, to awake craniotomies for patients with high grade brain tumours. 

Chief Executive of The Walton Centre Jan Ross said:

“I’m delighted that, once again, we’ve been able to let cameras into our busy hospital to highlight the incredible work our staff do. I think the series captures compelling stories of patient experience here at The Walton Centre and shows the exceptional level of care our staff give to patients.”

The film crew spent eight weeks over the summer shadowing neurosurgery, radiology, and life on the wards, gaining exclusive access to urgent and lifesaving operations.

Medical Director and Deputy CEO Dr Andy Nicolson said:

“It’s very important that we recognise the work staff do on a daily basis. For many, they are being referred for urgent operations to significantly improve, or save their lives. The second series of Trauma Room One will give viewers another unique insight into the work we do here, and I’m extremely proud of the level of professionalism displayed in each episode.”

Renegade Stories, the production company behind Trauma Room One, has covered a number of subjects, from war zones to disasters.

Renegade Stories Executive Producer Livia Simoka said:

“It’s a privilege to be welcomed back into The Walton Centre to witness the extraordinary skill, teamwork and compassion that goes into every patient’s care. Trauma Room One is as much about high-stakes surgery as it is about the people whose lives are transformed and the remarkable staff who make that possible. We’re thrilled to be bringing their stories to viewers once again.”

The new series will air on 5Star this autumn and you can catch-up on last series here.
