The Science Of... Knife Crime

Available for over a year

Knife crime in Britain gets called an 'epidemic', so could a scientific approach be the solution to saving lives? From the moment a stabbing takes place, into the ambulance and through to the operating table and the aftercare, we join emergency medicine doctor Saleyha Ahsan to see the journey victims take through hospital and the science that underpins the efforts to save their life. With lessons from Formula 1 and the policing of late night drinking, she sees how looking sideways is helping us adapt to the challenges of preventing and treating knife injuries. Presenter: Dr Saleyha Ahsan Producer: Tom Bonnett Production Co-ordinator: Jana Holesworth Executive Editor: Martin Smith
