ITV investigates new Malpractice

TRAILER: Helen Behan and Jordan Kouamé return as the medical investigators once again called to investigate a doctor under fire in the second season of Malpractice, which returns to ITV and ITVX this May.

When on-call Psychiatric Registrar Dr James Ford (Tom Hughes) is caught between an anxious new mother’s postnatal check-up and the sectioning of a psychotic patient, no one could predict the devastating outcome.

Dr Norma Callahan (Behan) and Dr George Adjei (Kouamé) of the Medical Investigation Unit are called in to investigate. His personal life is messy, and his colleagues may find him arrogant, but Dr Ford appears committed to his vulnerable patients. As the team dig further into the events of that night, what appears to be a series of poor choices by one doctor spreads beyond the psychiatric unit to a hospital seemingly at war with itself.

With the MIU investigation closing in, can Dr Ford save his already fragile career from a string of apparently damning mistakes? Is Dr Ford a doctor with a God complex, or a victim of the institution? And can the MIU uncover the truth of what happened, despite hostility from all sides?

Selin Hizli, Zoë Telford, Rick Warden and Ace Bhatti also star in the medical drama created and written by former NHS doctor Grace Ofori-Attah.

Malpractice is produced by World Productions and distributed by ITV Studios.
