A 50-seat MediCinema opened at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust’s Oxford Road Campus on 25 June. It offers free film screenings for patients and their families.
The auditorium has room for wheelchairs, hospital beds and medical equipment. Nurses and trained volunteers help patients attend screenings, so the way the room is staffed matters as much as the way it is laid out.
MediCinema plans to show films year-round and offer tailored screenings for different patient groups. The venue was developed by MediCinema, the NHS trust and its charity.
