About Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH)
GOSH has come a long way from it's humble beginnings when it opened on 14th February 1852, with just 10 beds, 2 wards & 20 staff. Contrast that with the modern day and the 353 beds, 38 wards & 2,700 staff, treating children from throughout the UK and world for a wide range of conditions. GOSH are one of a small handful of truly word-class children’s hospitals, but as the building is over 150 years old many of their patients and their families are treated in conditions which are crowded, uncomfortable, lacking in privacy and falling short of what they deserve. A good example of the need for redevelopment is that the cardiac intensive care offers each patient only one-third of the space recommended. To deliver the best modern care hospital redevelopment is needed.
