Casualty and Holby City have donated ventilators to hospitals in the midst of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, in order to help save lives.
Executive producer Simon Harper said via social media: "We are only too happy to help out and do what we can for the courageous and selfless real life medics."
Alongside the message was an image of "fully operational ventilators from the Holby City set [arriving] at the new Nightingale Hospital".
The shows previously announced that they would donate props and other PPE (personal protection equipment) to healthcare workers, following in the footsteps of similar American medical dramas like Grey's Anatomy.

Because of the coronavirus, filming on the shows has been suspended for the forseeable future. For Holby, that means that the upcoming episode on Tuesday (April 14) will be the last one airing for a while, before it goes off air until sometime later in the year.
Ahead of the episode's airing, we've got a handful of spoilers about what you can expect.
Meanwhile, Casualty isn't on tonight (Saturday, April 11) but will be back next week. We've got spoilers not just for that episode, but the rest of the month too.

Elsewhere, Dr Ethan Hardy actor George Rainsford has been keeping fans in isolation entertained with some topical (and absolutely dreadful) jokes, and admitted that he is struggling to stay away from the snacks while cooped up at home.
We'd say that we can relate, but we accepted that we have no willpower a long time ago.
Holby City will air its last episode for a while on Tuesday, April 14 and Casualty returns next Saturday, April 11.
