24 Hours In A&E is back on our screens tonight – with Channel 4 promising more drama and intriguing storylines than ever before.
The British hospital docu-series, which follows the journeys of patients in one of the UK’s busiest Accident & Emergency departments, is celebrating its ten-year anniversary.
What better way to mark the decade than to grant viewers insider access to a whole new hospital?
Here is all you need to know about the filming locations.
Where is 24 Hours In A&E filmed?
The latest series of 24 Hours in A&E was filmed at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham – one of the busiest Major Trauma Centres in the country and part of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
Dr Keith Girling, Medical Director at Nottingham University Hospitals said: ‘We have one of the biggest Major Trauma Centre’s in the country, and our Emergency Department treats over 600 patients every day, so there will be plenty of interesting patient and staff stories to watch.’
Eagle-eyed fans will have noticed that the show did not always take place up North.
The first six series were filmed in King’s College Hospital in Denmark Hill, Camberwell.
In 2014, production then moved to St George’s Hospital in Tooting.
Speaking about the decision to move filming to Nottingham, John Hay, Joint Chief Executive of The Garden – the company that produces 24 Hours in A&E – said: ‘St George’s has been a wonderful home to A&E – we will always be grateful to them for allowing us in to see their extraordinary work, and we’re very pleased to be continuing them relationship with them through the new Emergency series.
‘But we’re also excited about working with a new hospital, and delighted Nottingham has chosen us – it’s another very special place.
‘We’ve been careful to move the series in stages over recent years – we’ve wanted to ensure it has a positive impact on the production ecosystem in the Midlands and the North, helping to grow and develop talent as we go.
‘This next step will offer even more of a chance for a new generation of filmmakers to experience and evolve this much-loved programme.’
