World Health & Safety Day

Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH)’s mission is to provide world-class clinical care and training, pioneering new research and treatments, in partnership with others, for the benefit of children in the UK and worldwide.

Every day brings new challenges at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Each day, 619 children and young people from across the UK arrive for life-changing treatments.

Constantly, young lives hang in the balance as patients, families and staff battle the most complex illnesses.

However, every day the brightest minds come together to achieve pioneering medical breakthroughs that change the lives of thousands of children – and change the world.

Despite the greatest challenges a child can face, the hospital is a place where being sick does not always mean being sad. And it’s a place where you’ll find – today and every day – some of the bravest people you could ever meet.

This extraordinary hospital has always depended on charitable support, and every day is a chance for you to make a difference.
