ITV has released the first image of Niamh Algar in medical thriller MALPRACTICE, where she plays a doctor suspected of wrongdoing following the death of a patient. The series comes from the mind of former NHS doctor Grace Ofori-Attah, whose earlier television work includes Idris Elba sitcom In the Long Run, while directing duties are being handled by BAFTA nominee Philip Barantini (THE RESPONDER). The five-part drama follows Dr Lucinda Edwards (Algar) as she is investigated following the death of an opioid overdose victim named Edith Owusu (Sherelle Armstrong).
