Hospital flu cases in England jumped 55% week-on-week, filling wards with acutely unwell - often older - patients who can’t be safely discharged, including those experiencing homelessness. The resulting bed blocking delays A&E flow and elective surgeries. Mildmay can provide safe step‑down, stabilisation, and rehabilitation to enable timely discharge and ease pressure across the NHS.

Mildmay’s CEO joined a Parliamentary roundtable with MPs, NHS leaders, and lived experience voices to discuss safer hospital discharge for people experiencing homelessness. Three practical interventions were proposed, supporting our mission to provide specialist care and dignity to those most at risk. Read more and support Mildmay’s vital work.

Homelessness is one of London’s most urgent health challenges, cutting life expectancy to the mid-40s. Mildmay Hospital works alongside NHS and local partners to tackle inequalities, combining healthcare and holistic support to transform lives.

Why is a London train line named after a hospital? In TfL’s Mind the Gap podcast, Tim Dunn visited Mildmay to discover the story behind the Mildmay Line - meeting former patient Jason Reid, staff, and uncovering a legacy of care that continues today.

TfL’s new book, The New London Overground Lines, celebrates the renaming of the network’s six lines, including the Mildmay line. It beautifully documents the process of consultation and storytelling that shaped each name. It highlights Mildmay’s founding during the 1866 cholera outbreak, its groundbreaking role as Europe’s first dedicated HIV/AIDS hospital in the late 1980s, and our continued evolution as a specialist hospital working hand in hand with the NHS.

Homelessness is not only a housing crisis but also a health crisis, underlining the urgent need for solutions that go beyond housing alone.
