ITV1 will air The British Blood Scandal: Poisoned at School, a documentary examining what is described as the worst medical disaster in NHS history. The program is scheduled for Tuesday, May 20, at 9:00 PM.
The film centers on the experiences of students at The Lord Mayor Treloar School and Hospital. These young haemophiliacs were administered Factor VIII, a treatment they were told would improve their condition. Instead, the documentary details how the drug led to severe health consequences. The program pieces together accounts of alleged secret clinical trials and medical negligence, featuring personal testimony from individuals impacted. It also explores the extended efforts to uncover the truth and achieve accountability.
