Patients whose lives have been transformed as a result of flesh-eating infections, genetic conditions and life-changing traumas feature along with the hospital’s maxillofacial prosthetics team.

Mr Nigel Webster, a maxillofacial prosthetist, was noted for his artistic prowess in crafting body parts like noses, ears and eyes.

The series aims to shine a light on the dedication of both surgical and non-surgical staff as they help patients rehabilitate.

Consultant plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Mr Ahid Abood, consultant oral and maxillofacial head and neck surgeon, Mr Malcolm Cameron, and consultant plastic surgeon specialising in head and neck reconstruction and trauma, Mr Nicholas Segaren, are among the specialists featured in the series.

The stories of patients like Peter, who undergoes surgery to reconstruct his nose after losing it to cancer, and Lilie-Mai, who required a growth removal from her head that had affected her confidence, represent the daily challenges faced by these medical experts.

Dr Ashley Shaw, medical director at Addenbrooke’s, said: “We are extremely pleased to be involved in a documentary that not only highlights some of the incredible work that goes on here at Addenbrooke’s, but also the tenacity, courage and sheer determination of our patients.

“We hope their stories inspire hope and confidence in patients facing similar treatments, and encourage others to think about a career with Addenbrooke’s where there are so many incredible and rewarding opportunities to help others.”

Produced for Warner Bros Discovery by Dragonfly TV, the series was created by the company behind the acclaimed BBC Two series, Surgeons: At the Edge of Life.
