In Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital Day Surgery Unit, bed 81 is with 31-year-old former Marine Matt, who lost part of his lower leg while serving in Afghanistan. By his side is his wife Amy, and they are hoping that the procedure will make exercising on his leg more bearable.
Over at Leeds Children's Hospital, paediatric bed three is on standby for its next patient. Six-year-old Eve has come in for an MRI scan on her brain to check a tumour that's been removed hasn't grown back.
In Leicester Royal Infirmary's Maternity Unit, bed five is freed up just in time for 26-year-old Keisha, who is in an advanced stage of labour with her second child. Her first baby was larger than average and she needed help to deliver her, and her second baby is expected to be even bigger, so there is a greater risk of complications.
In Barnsley Hospital's A&E department, bed 12 is with 18-year-old Alisha, who has had a serious motorbike accident. Paramedics fear she has multiple broken bones, and Alisha's career ambitions as a swimming coach are in jeopardy if her injuries are serious.
