Footage shows the hospital where Lucy Letby, the nurse found guilty of murdering seven babies and trying to murder six others, worked.
As part of the trial at Manchester Crown Court, the jury were shown a “walk through” video of the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital as it was when Letby, 33, worked there.
The nurse from Hereford worked at the unit after qualifying as a children’s nurse at the University of Chester in 2011, according to an interview with the Chester and District Standard newspaper.

00:00 This is the neonatal unit at the County of Chester, September 2021. Things have changed
00:17 a lot as we've moved into our new neonatal unit, but I will show you the rooms. This
00:25 used to be nursery 1, also coined the hot room. This is where the sickest patients were
00:32 brought. Typically this room would have had four incubators, so any baby who was intubated
00:44 or needing CPAP support would be brought into this room. They wouldn't typically leave this
00:51 room until they were more stable. This is the area where the drugs were kept. As you
00:58 can see, they're all in lock cupboards, empty now. This is the controlled drug cupboard.
01:06 This is nursery 2. I could house up to four cots, but typically three. This is nursery
01:17 3, again a similar room to nursery 2. As the babies became older and more stable, they
01:25 would graduate through the rooms. Typically this room would have three, perhaps four cots.
