Heroes Unmasked
By Leeds Teaching Hospitals
A doctor isn’t just someone who makes people better. A porter isn’t just someone who moves people around a hospital. As staff across Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust have been hailed heroes for their work during Covid, Caroline Verdon goes deeper to find out who they actually are, to hear their stories, what makes them tick, what their passions are and why they do the jobs they do. This series involves professional rugby players, champion fencers, leper colonies and even submarines. Some will make you cry, some will make you think, all will give you an insight into the person behind the mask.
