One hospital’s journey on the Covid frontline

Our Home Affairs Correspondent Andy Davies is at the Aneurin Bevan Health Board area - which was hit hard as Covid cases rapidly rose during the early stages of the outbreak. (Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)

During the height of the pandemic we interviewed one of their consultants, Dave Hepburn, who gave a very candid account of what they were experiencing and the relative youth of those they were seeing in intensive care.

A consultant working alongside him called Nick Mason - who's also a photographer - began documenting life across their hospital as the pandemic stretched their critical care unit to near breaking point. In days off and at the end of shifts he began compiling a remarkable archive, 2,000 images in total, to capture - in his words - this unprecedented moment in the history of the NHS.

The filmmaker Dave Young has been to meet Nick Mason - and some of those he photographed in the midst of the pandemic - to reflect on the past and what the months ahead could bring too. This is their film.
