All Saints is a drama centred on a busy hospital, All Saints Western General Hospital. This Drama has two original aspects, the first, that it's set in Australia, and the second that it focuses on mainly the lives of the nurses. The stories are delivered from the hospital's frontline perspective, giving the viewers an in-depth view of how a nurse's life really is. Some days they are cranky, disillusioned, angry or frustrated. They share their hopes and disappointments with each other, and the pressures they're under. Their friendships and their relationships, show what pulls them through the hectic daily life. The programme also shows how much authority the nurses have, the way they are often forced to make crucial decisions, but don't have the power to do so, causing very hard hitting, passionate storylines. Not only do we see the nurse's working hard, we also delve into their personal lives and watch close relationships and bonds develop between many unexpected characters.
