Reading Ambulance crew Paul and Vicky

Cutting Edge charts a month in the life of ambulance 212 and its crews as they attempt to comply with Government targets to reach 75% of life threatening calls within eight minutes. But how much of their work actually involves saving lives? And how much is tea and sympathy?

This insightful documentary provides a fascinating view of modern British society and daily lives of the Paramedics on the front line of the NHS.
