The BBC is due to launch its newest reality TV show which will entail them sending out a team of doctors to diagnose and treat people on the streets of Britain.

Four GPs will visit a different town or city each week in the new series.

They will see patients on the street, in shopping centres, at their office and even on the bus.

Street Doctor Executive Producer Kieron Collins said: “Too many people put off going to see their GP.

“They can’t find the time, haven’t registered or are simply too worried about the outcome.

“But if they want to see a Street Doctor, there’s no appointment necessary, no waiting room and the doctor will come to them.”

The GPs will carry a Street Doctor banner so that the public know they can go to them for advice.

A production team will also be asking passers-by if they want to talk to a doctor.

A pilot for the show found that the cameras did not put people off talking to the doctor.

The series will consist of eight 30-minute programmes, starting early next year.

It will also follow more serious conditions and help unsuspecting members of the public, who may be unaware that they have a health problem, gain follow-up care and treatment.

The Street Doctor team of GPs are Dr Jonty Heaversedge and Dr Ayan Panja from London, Dr Barbara Murray from Stockport, and Dr George Rae from Newcastle upon Tyne.
