Medicinema

The MediCinema charity brings the power of cinema to around 17,000 patients and their families across the UK.
We do this by building, installing and running state-of-the-art cinemas in hospitals and other places of care. No-matter if a patient is in a wheelchair, attached to a drip or even unable to leave their bed, we are able to welcome them, and to ensure their safety throughout the film, we hire two NHS nurses for every screening.
Our MediCinemas are ‘real’ cinemas as we use the same architects and suppliers as those used by mainstream cinemas. Many patients comment that they forget that they are in hospital, they forget their difficulties and have a ‘dose of normality’ that helps support their mental health and their recovery.
Thanks to the support of the film industry, we show current releases so patients don’t have to miss out on seeing the latest blockbusters just because they are in hospital. Thanks to the support of our donors, our screenings are completely free for all patients and their families.
