Set in Ward B4 of King Edward VIIIth hospital, a run-of-the-mill female medical ward in an NHS outpost someway outside London, Getting On finds its humour in the daily grind faced by the staff - return-to-practice nurse Kim Wilde, the lowest form of life after the lino, Sister Den Flixter, balancing work and pleasure, Dr Pippa Moore searching for a way out, and modern matron Hilary Loftus, keen to make an impression.

The black comedy flows thick and fast as Kim Den and Pippa wade through the bureaucracy, bickering and daily battles with life and death on this health care backwater.
