Centre for Paediatrics and Child Health

The Centre for Paediatrics and Child Health at Imperial College London welcomes anyone and everyone who is concerned with the wellbeing of children, whether as a researcher, clinician, and educator of whatever discipline. We aim to reach out across College and West London to foster collaboration for the benefit of the present and future generations of children, our most precious asset.

Support Us

At the Centre for Paediatrics and Child Health, our mission is to foster collaboration in healthcare and research for the benefit of children now and in the future.

We are a voice for children within Imperial and beyond, whether that means engaging with children and their families, driving forward world-class research, or equipping the next generation of scientists to ensure the future of excellence in paediatrics and child health.

At the Centre, we bring together researchers, clinicians and educators from many disciplines both within Imperial College and the NHS in West London to collaborate on shared challenges. Basic scientists work closely with care providers to facilitate the translation of scientific breakthroughs into care, while clinicians bring unique experience and insights from the frontline of patient care to inform our programmes of research. Thanks to this multidisciplinary, collaborative approach, we are constantly advancing the field of children’s healthcare and research and helping to ensure the best possible start to life for every child, here and across the world.

Whether your family’s life has been affected by the Centre for Paediatrics and Child Health’s work, or you’d like to make a gift to support ground-breaking research into children’s health and wellbeing, we’re here to help you find out more about philanthropy and how your generosity can make a difference.

Mohn Centre for Children's Health and Wellbeing

Getting the right early start to life is essential for a child’s development and their life-long health. Many factors impact this early start including access to green space, mobile phone usage and socio-economic disparity, which all influence the likelihood of developing certain health conditions.

With close to two billion children in the world, children, young people and their families deserve to have their views championed and the opportunity to inform research topics which matter most to them.

The Mohn Centre for Children’s Health and Wellbeing will unpick the complex network of interactions between environmental, behavioural, genetic and molecular factors to address important physical and mental health challenges and health inequalities. The Centre will provide information and evidence which promote good health to our local community and beyond. We will be an advocate for the good health of children and young people amongst policy makers to ensure our research is far-reaching with a great impact. Our research and partnerships will transform urban living for children, particularly those in society’s most deprived communities.

The Mohn Centre was established following a transformational gift from Marit Mohn to create a world-leading centre for children’s health and wellbeing in the School of Public Health. The Mohn Centre unites expertise from across Imperial College London, community partners, local authorities and health and care organisations to pursue research and education on the understanding and prevention of children’s health issues.

MediCinema improves the wellbeing and quality of life of NHS patients and their families through the power of the shared cinema experience and the magic of film. We create and operate cinemas inside hospitals, specially designed to accommodate beds, wheelchairs and medical equipment and we screen the latest films completely free of charge. Using this unique approach our cinema-based programmes boost patient resilience, improving the emotional and physical impact of being in hospital.

At no cost to the NHS, since our inaugural MediCinema opened in 1999 at St Thomas’ Hospital in London, we’ve provided hundreds of thousands of unforgettable cinematic experiences to patients, their families, and those closest to them, completely free of charge.
