Waiting times of 40 hours, ambulance queues, overworked staff and desperate patients.

Over the winter, the NHS was under extreme pressure.

But even out of the grip of that crisis, even on an average day, the pressure in one of

the countries' biggest hospitals is palpable.

That patient will need neurosurgical interventions, so one of the next things will be is to manage

that is to get them to theatre as quickly as possible to resolve that for them.

In a rare glimpse inside the NHS, a few weeks ago, stories of our times visited

Addenbrook's hospital in Cambridge.

During that patient's sustained, I can see there's a big bleed this white area.

There's a hemorrhage there, which has happened. I imagine it's caused by trauma.

When was the last time the NHS felt like it was on a stable footing?

It hasn't felt normal since before COVID, yeah.

And actually, this is probably the worst that I've ever seen.

Something needs to change desperately.

Adding to the day-to-day pressure,

right now, we're in the middle of a three-day strike by junior doctors over pay.

It could be the biggest disruption to services in England so far.

Meanwhile, could pioneering technology help to ease the pressure?

With robotics, all of a sudden, I was able to do the same operation through

three or four small cuts in the tummy. Your recovery time goes from four to five days

down to one day or possibly two days.

That's amazing.
