Last Wednesday, Rushanara Ali MP told the Prime Minister that Mildmay, where Diana, Princess of Wales made 17 visits to help break the stigma around HIV and AIDS, is at risk of closure due to NHS commissioning issues. Sir Keir Starmer called Mildmay "synonymous with extraordinary care and compassion" and committed to a meeting to address the concerns raised. With the 30th anniversary of Diana's death next year, we explain what's at stake - and why Mildmay's empty beds matter

A new report finds that six million fewer Britons gave to charity last year than a decade ago. At Mildmay Hospital, we feel the reality behind those numbers every day. Our Winter Appeal closes on 1 April, and we are just £1,301 away from our £30,000 target. If you have been thinking about giving, now is the moment it counts most. Please help us get there.

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.

As NHS hospitals face devastating staff and service cuts to meet drastic savings targets, Mildmay Hospital stands ready with empty beds and expert step-down care to relieve pressure and free up space on acute wards. Read how Mildmay can help at a critical time for the NHS.
