Geordie Hospital star Sean Marshall-Kellie said filming the new Channel 4 show has been "a bit of fun" after the difficult two years faced by the NHS during the Covid-19 pandemic - but added it had felt "really important" to highlight some of the "less sexy" sides of healthcare.
The new show - which premiered on Monday night - focuses on the day-to-day work of some of the NHS heroes at the Freeman and the RVI hospitals. Producers took a conscious decision to highlight the stellar efforts of our region's healthcare workers without things all being about Covid-19.
Sean - a clinical nurse specialist in stone disease who works in the urology department - told ChronicleLive how he felt the TV show team had decided to feature him "possibly because I didn't seem that bothered initially", but said he hoped it highlighted how fulfilling his job could be.
