THE town's hospital will feature in a dedicated one-hour documentary on Sky Atlantic tonight, Thursday showing the ways in which it has adapted so well to the coronavirus pandemic.

Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust appears on Covid on the Home Front at 10pm.

Sky's camera crew spent time in the hospital, observing the ways in which medics are reducing death rates and speeding up recovery rates with innovative 'black boxes'.

Doctors at the Lovely Lane site modified the black boxes normally used to help sleep apnoea patients with their breathing as an alternative to ventilating those being treated for Covid-19.

Medics say this practice is less ‘intrusive and invasive’ and leads to a quicker recovery rate.
