Who we are
Mildmay Hospital is a specialist independent charitable hospital, based in Shoreditch, east London. We provide inpatient care and rehabilitation for people with complex health needs, particularly those whose clinical and social circumstances are too complex, or too often overlooked, for mainstream settings.
Our work is shaped by more than 160 years of healthcare in east London and nearly four decades of specialised HIV care.
Since 2020, we have significantly expanded our services to people experiencing homelessness, rough sleeping, and drug and alcohol dependency.
We operate under contract to the NHS, which funds the majority of our services. As a charity, we are not an NHS trust, but we work as a trusted NHS partner and align with NHS standards of care, governance and quality.

Our status and governance
Mildmay is an independent charitable hospital, not an NHS trust. We are contracted by the NHS to provide our specialist services, which means our care is free at the point of use for patients referred through NHS and local authority routes.
As a registered charity (no. 292058) and company limited by guarantee (no. 01921087), we are governed by a Board of Trustees and operate under the oversight of the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which rated us Good at our most recent inspection.
Approximately 90% of our income comes from NHS contracts. Charitable donations and fundraising are essential to sustaining and developing our services.
