How to watch Malpractice anywhere
David
David has been watching TV outside of his home country for over 12 years. In addition to his streaming expertise, he has a wealth of experience in watching sports and documentaries, having spent many years following these genres. He is an avid fan of The Detectorists and Blue Planet, and also has a keen interest in English football.
Everyone is well aware of the pressures that the NHS is under at the moment, and the success of shows like This is Going To Hurt shows how powerful these challenges can be for viewers.
So, it is a timely moment for a show like Malpractice to come along, and it looks like an absolute cracker.
The production company behind this show has some impressive names on their CV already. With Line of Duty and The Pembrokeshire Murders, two of the highest rating shows of 2021 coming from this stable, hopes will be understandably high for Malpractice.
As you will see, it doesn’t disappoint. There is an impressive cast of highly recognisable British TV talent, a BAFTA-nominated director, and a plot that brings drama and realism in spades, having been written by someone who worked at the coal face of the NHS for well over a decade.
Malpractice promises to be one of the TV events of the year. But if you want to enjoy it overseas, you will have to wait as it is only being broadcast in the UK.
If waiting isn’t your thing and you want to enjoy Malpractice right now, there is a simple trick you can use to enjoy this show right now from anywhere in the world.
If you want to know how, you’ll need to keep on reading.
What channel is Malpractice being shown on?
Malpractice is being broadcast in the UK exclusively on ITV 1 and the ITV X streaming service.
ITV X is a newly rebranded streaming service looking to rival the likes of Netflix for high-quality free content, and there is little doubt that Malpractice is going to be one of the jewels in its crown this spring.
The bad news for Brits abroad and anyone else outside the UK is that ITV X is not available to viewers outside the UK.
So, if you want to watch Malpractice for free in another country, you will need a little help.
How do I watch Malpractice where I am?
In addition to your streaming device and a free ITV X account, if you are outside the UK, you will need to use a VPN to enjoy Malpractice where you are.
If you Google VPNs, you will see lots of stuff on security and privacy. For streaming, you don’t need to worry about any of that.
All you need to know is that if you connect your VPN to a UK-based server while in a different country, you will be able to make ITV X think you are in the UK and so letting you watch Malpractice, or any of their other shows for that matter.
Where to get a VPN?
There are hundreds of VPNs on the market these days, and if you do google them, it may well seem all but impossible to know how to choose the right one.

What is Malpractice all about?
Malpractice follows Dr Lucinda Edwards, an experienced doctor coming to the end of a typical nightmare shift when one of her patients, Edith Owusu, dies of an opioid overdose.
Her grieving father, Sir Anthony Owusu demands an inquiry, and despite the support of her supervisor, things start to get difficult.
The inquiry is led by Dr Norma Callahan, who is suspicious of her decision making while Dr George Adjei believes from the start that the death was avoidable.
As the investigation continues, Lucinda’s personal and professional life begins to be affected. Is she hiding something? Or is there something altogether darker going on?
Malpractice “looks set to be a truly nail-biting thriller,” one reviewer concluded. We couldn’t agree more.
