Summary
Emma experiences the training process on a maternity ward, working four shifts a week, to discover what makes it one of the toughest, but most rewarding careers possible.
Review
Emma Willis, by her own admission, is “wasted in telly”. The TV presenter reaches this conclusion after training to be a maternity care assistant at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Essex, something she undertakes for no immediately obvious reason other than she loves babies (she has three children with husband Matt Willis) – and that it makes a neat TV show.
Having a crash course in 13-hour shifts and medical terminology, she’s immediately overwhelmed and, as expected, there’s copious cooing over newborns and wide-eyed admiration for new mothers struggling with problematic pregnancies. But she’s not afraid to get stuck in and her enthusiasm is undisputable, while seeing the job through the eyes of a novice emphasises just how emotionally charged working in neonatal care can be.
