Its supposed to be a state of the art Critical Trauma Unit with no expense spared, it was mentioned at some point that it was a massive drain on resources and budget, which would no doubt run into tens of millions PA or maybe more.
Also you have to remember this is one unit in a hospital with everything piled into it, ICU bays, scanners, operating theatres and all manner of other toys, the rest of the hospital would not be like this, like most hospitals these things would be spread out whereas this unit have their own dedicated to them for their sole use.
As to them all being Brits this unit would no doubt be under intense observation by various parties and maybe the NHS powers that be decided they wanted a British line-up pioneering what would be the only Trauma Unit of its kind in the UK, Kind of a look what we've done. Also and this is down to the writing team these guys are not the only people who work there, some of the support staff are foreign but only ever get lines in the "who" they do before surgery and there must be a second trauma team, because these guys have to have time off so maybe there are foreigners on that team, also there would be a vast number of behind the scenes people that could be foreign, secretaries, nurses, healthcare assistants, pharmacy workers, security etc, but unfortunately due to the nature of the show dealing with the 'Critical' patient hanging on by a thread only the support staff that are needed are seen, some mentioning with the writers or maybe bringing a few foreigners for bit parts like bringing blood or drugs or maybe even paperwork, it happens.
Anyway fingers kinda got away from me, I hope you give this show atleast the first season/series, it will never be a massive show unless theres some kind of intervention with the writing team as well as the director/team, but i enjoy it i find it entertaining and this is the first show in a long time to genuinely shock me with how graphic it is but i like that, i wont spoil anything because i hate that i hope you will give it another go and i hope you like it.
