Vital Signs is a medical British television drama series, which first aired on ITV on 20 April 2006. The series stars Tamzin Outhwaite as Rhoda Bradley, a supermarket check-out operator who decides to become a doctor after her son is diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. The series follows Rhoda's experiences going through training at medical school, to coping with real life or death situations in a hospital environment.

Alongside Outhwaite, Steven Waddington plays her husband, Tony, with Anton Lesser, William Beck, Eve Best, Claudie Blakley, Lucinda Dryzek, Beth Goddard and Ruth Sheen all appearing in prominent roles. The series was commissioned in August 2005, with filming taking place in a number of London hospitals, but most prominently St George's Hospital; scenes were also filmed at St George's University Medical School.

The theme to the series, "Go My Own Way" by Alexis Strum, was produced by Magnus Fiennes and taken from Strum's second album Cocoon. The series was released on Region 2 DVD on 15 January 2007.
