Protecting Our Parents

Synopsis: Three part BBC series which takes an unflinching look at the increased demand on UK health services caused by an ageing population. With unprecedented access to the NHS and Social Services’ older adults care teams in Birmingham, PROTECTING OUR PARENTS follows medics and social workers as they attempt to meet the increasing demand on their services. Filmed over the course of a year against a backdrop of stretched budgets and damning reports, the series looks at cases from the perspective of the professionals, families and older adults themselves to explore one of the most important challenges facing our society: how should we care for our ageing population?
