MediCinema, the first cinema in a children’s hospital in the UK, opened its doors to children and families at Yorkhill in 2007 and since then has brought hours of fun and entertainment to the hospital. Twice a week, children can leave the clinical environment of the wards into the world of film and fantasy, and watch the latest releases. Beds and wheelchairs can all be brought in, and nursing staff and volunteers are on hand to look after the children, their friends and families. This gives them a much needed escape from the reality of hospital life and brings the sparkle and glamour of the movies to those children who may be unable to attend a regular cinema.
