http://news.sky.com/story/1137970/sky-news-to-spend-24-hours-in-a-and-e

From 1700 on Saturday 7^th September Sky News will be live, for 24 hours, in the A&E department of Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham, one of Britain's busiest and biggest A&E and trauma units.  

This autumn Sir Bruce Keogh will publish his report into the state of emergency services in England; there is widespread concern about the pressure on A&E departments with a growing number failing to meet waiting time targets. Sky News will be live to see how one A&E department is coping and dealing with pressures on its staff and services. 

Queen’s Medical Centre is one of the busiest A&Es and regularly sees 600 patients a day. It is also a major trauma centre and the hub for serious multiple injury in the East Midlands. Sunday’s are their busiest day of the week.

Sky News has full access to the major and minor incidents departments, trauma, resuscitation and children’s A&E, plus East Midlands Ambulance service. 

Colin Brazier will kick off the live presentation at 5pm with Kay Burley taking over at 10pm (full presentation line up below).  There will be live reports from various correspondents throughout as well as pre packaged material across all platforms. Sky News Correspondent, Tom Parmenter, will also be out on call with the paramedic team. There will be a steady stream of guests throughout the 24 hours including Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Shadow Health Secretary Andy Burnham.
