The ED will be dealing with a brand new face this weekend in the form of Patrick.

Actor Jamie Glover has been cast in the role as the ED's new clinical lead following the recent departure of Max.

However, it seems that Patrick means business and is unwilling to let his staff off lightly and is more than unimpressed with Rash and his poor state of mind at work.

Rash tries to prove himself after receiving negative feedback from Patrick.

Having already made a mistake, Rash becomes heated and defensive and worries that he may have come back to work too soon.

During a chat with Patrick, Rash opens up about wanting to become a consultant via the CSER route.

Patrick attempts to deter him after informing him of just how difficult the process can be.

Things soon get worse for Rash following a patient's suicide as Tariq is forced to become a comfort blanket for him with Rash soon insisting that Tariq can stay with him.

Nurse Rida is left in a struggle while trying to source inpatient treatment for Fern after she was sent back into the ED.

Rida is unable to lock down any secure treatment for Fern but this does not come as a shock to her.

It becomes clear that Fern is feeling low and she later takes herself off to the toilers.

Suspicion soon grows as Rida realises that Fern never returned and she is soon horrified to discover that Fern has committed suicide in the toilet.

Rida becomes furious that the hospital did not have the staff or resources to support her and it forces her to re-evaluate her time at the ED.
