Setting Research- Millview Hospital

Our location is Pavilion Ward, Millview Hospital.


Millview Hospital is a psychiatric intensive care unit to assess and treat patients with severe mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, Bi-Polar affective disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and drug induced psychosis. All patients on the ward are considered to be at risk of harm to themselves or others in the context of their mental health condition and have been detained under the mental health Act. There has to be an enhanced potential for risk to self or others to warrant a bed on the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Patients can leave it given agreed section 17 (MHA) but mostly escorted. Until they are well enough to do so, they can use the large garden which is surrounded by a high fence to prevent absconsion. We want to use this area because we think that using the fence and the front of the hospital in low key lighting would be really good for the opening of our thriller. We have permission from the manager and the communications team at the hospital, as my mum works there and emailed them to see if it we could use the grounds.

  1. You will have to have permission to film here. I am assuming that you want to use it as an establishing shot only. YOU HAVE TO HAVE PERMISSION FOR THIS FROM THE HOSPITAL.
