MediCinema is a registered charity that has formed a unique partnership with the Health Sector and the Film Industry, installing state-of-the-art cinemas on site in hospitals around the UK.
We are Vue Entertainment's official nominated charity. With nurses instead of usherettes, MediCinema helps to enrich the quality of life for patients by bringing the magic of the silver screen to patients young and old, including those in beds and wheelchairs. By screening the latest releases, they and their families are able to escape the reality of hospital life and, just for a few hours, be transported somewhere else.
MediCinema opened its flagship cinema at St. Thomas' Hospital, London, on 14th December 1999. Ten years later, on 14th December 2009, we opened the doors to our third MediCinema, at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle.

MediCinema are most grateful to The Walt Disney Company, who gave 6 lucky auction bidders the opportunity to attend the UK Premiere of Toy Story 3, July 2010. Attended by the characters and actors at the Empire Cinema, Leicester Square.
MediCinema and The Willow Foundation were the co-beneficiaries for Caddington’s Celebrity Golf Day for the second year running. A great day with lots of celebrities that played or attended in support of the both charities including Lawrence Dallaglio, Zinzan Brooke, Ben Shepherd and Martin Chivers.
