Bringing the magic of the cinema to patients in hospital

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.

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 flaghsip 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: We're looking for volunteers to help at MediCinema, from fund raising to helping at screenings - please email medicinema@gstt.nhs.uk.
