Series following the work of the West Midlands Ambulance Service's mobile teams. Dr Ben Clark and student doctor Luke Hawkins treat a toddler who has suffered a fit.

The BASICS team of Dr Ben Clark and student doctor Luke Hawkins go to treat two-year-old Ashanti who has suffered a fit. We're with Ben as he looks after her and reassures her parents that everything will be all right.

We meet Wendy, who's suffered from agonizing mystery pains for over three years, and we're with paramedic Jon Cobb as he does what he can to help ease her pain - and then follow Wendy as she finally gets a successful diagnosis and treatment which allows her to get her life back.

Rapid response paramedic Simone Armfield blue-lights it to a country pub where a motorbike has been in a collision with a car - biker Simon suffered serious injuries in the crash, but we find out how they helped heal some far deeper wounds in his personal life.

Paramedic Kathryn Davies attends to a 15-year-old with Crohn's disease, and her colleague Steve Hill pays a visit to Len, an 86-year-old war veteran who's fallen and can't get up, to offer some tea and sympathy.
