Child in a Million follows the medical teams at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital over eight months, capturing just some of the incredible pioneering treatments which take place there each day.
The series follows 13 children and their families both at home and in the hospital, as doctors attempt to diagnose their rare, and often, complex conditions and work out how best to treat them using cutting-edge techniques.
