Filming at UHCW

We are pleased to support media filming and photography opportunities that help showcase the care, innovation and expertise across UHCW.

To help ensure a positive experience for everyone involved, all filming, photography and interviews must be arranged in advance through the Communications Team.

A member of the team will be present throughout any approved media visit to provide support and ensure activity is conducted safely and without disruption to services.

Please remember that patients, visitors and staff may only be filmed, photographed or interviewed where appropriate consent has been obtained. If a patient is under the age of 16, a parent or guardian must give written consent. Protecting the privacy, dignity and confidentiality of those using our services is our highest priority.

This requirement also applies to content being captured for any social media channels (personal or public). Filming, photography or live-streaming for social media is not permitted without prior approval and the appropriate consent from those involved.

For the control of infection, we kindly ask all film crews to respect Trust guidelines and be bare below the areas when in a clinical setting. This means the removal of watches, fitbits, nail varnish, stoned rings, long sleeves (including formal jackets), etc.

Laminated ‘filming in progress’ signs should be displayed in all areas where cameras are in operation.

We appreciate your co-operation and look forward to working with you to tell important stories from across our Trust. Click here to see some of our other media work.
