GPs: Behind Closed Doors is a documentary series that takes us inside the heart of a local doctors surgery. By fitting a fixed camera rig to the consulting rooms of a local GP surgery, we are given exclusive access to the staff and patients who pass through the surgery every day.

​

Doctors’ surgeries have never been under more pressure dealing with conditions ranging from terminal illnesses to ingrown toe nails. They deal with 90% of the NHS workload, yet only get 10% of the funding. Each episode will cover one week in the surgery, to give viewers an insight into what life is actually like on a day-to-day basis – from the volume and range of medical problems to the pressures the support team at the surgery are under.

​

Doctors, nurses and health care professionals are some of the hardest working people in the country, and the system and pressures they work under are often mis-understood by the patients who visit them.  This series provides a unique and sensitive insight into one of our country’s most important institutions.
