General information

“They say laughter is the best medicine, but I think MediCinema is the best medicine.” Katie Gallacher, Paediatric Nurse at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle

MediCinema is an independently funded, registered charity that has formed a unique partnership with the health sector and film industry.

We are dedicated to bringing the power, escapism and the magic of cinema and film to patients, their families and carers in UK hospitals and places of care. We build, manage and operate state-of-the-art cinemas, bringing the latest movie blockbusters completely free of charge to those receiving and supporting treatment.

Our screens are built to accommodate patients in wheelchairs, beds, on drips or monitors.
MediCinema operates at Guy’s and St. Thomas' Hospitals in London, The Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow, the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, the Serennu Children’s Centre in Newport, and at Headley Court, the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre for injured service personnel in Epsom, Surrey. This year we will open a new MediCinema at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London.

For as little as £10 you can fund a patient to attend a screening at a MediCinema. Please support us today by texting FILM11 followed by the amount you want to donate to 70070.
