Mildmay Mission Hospital is a specialist voluntary charitable hospital and rehabilitation centre in East London. It is the only hospital in the United Kingdom specialising in the care of HIV/AIDS and related conditions, and the only one in Europe specialising in the treatment and rehabilitation of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders.[1]
The first Mildmay Hospital was established in 1877 by Catherine Pennefather and a group of deaconesses of the Mildmay Mission in a warehouse near Shoreditch Church. In 1892 it moved to purpose-built premises on Austin Street, Bethnal Green, to serve the population of the nearby Old Nichol rookery and, later, the Boundary Estate.[2] It was incorporated into the National Health Service (NHS) in 1948 and continued to operate as a cottage hospital until 1982, when it was closed as part of a broader administrative reorganisation of the NHS. After extensive campaigning by Helen Taylor Thompson and others, in 1985 Mildmay was reopened, first as a nursing home and then as an AIDS hospice; in 1988, it resumed operations in new premises off Hackney Road, and has remained primarily dedicated to HIV/AIDS care since.[2]
Further redevelopment of the area led to demolition of the 1980s building, and in 2014 the hospital moved into its latest premises at the same location. During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, Mildmay became the primary referral unit for unhoused Londoners with COVID-19 requiring non-intensive inpatient care.[1] After renewed threats of closure in 2020,[3] its services were expanded to non-HIV care pathways, including step-down care for rough sleepers recovering from illness or injury, post-detoxification care (since 2022), and general neurorehabilitation (since 2023).[4]
Since its reopening, Mildmay has operated as an independent organisation which provides healthcare and social services under contract to the NHS.[1] Approximately 80% of its expenses are funded by the NHS, with the remainder covered by donations and fundraising activities.[5] As a tertiary referral hospital, Mildmay has no A&E department and, since the COVID-19 pandemic, has offered no outpatient or day-hospital services. Referrals for inpatient admission are accepted from anywhere in the UK.[1]
As of 2024, Mildmay is rated "Good" by the Care Quality Commission (down from "Outstanding" in 2017).[1] Its CEO is Geoff Coleman, and its president is Lord Fowler, former Secretary of State for Health and Social Services and Speaker of the House of Lords.[6]
