Great Ormond Street Hospital was the first dedicated children’s hospital in the UK, opening in 1852. Today, GOSH is a tertiary and quaternary hospital, specialising in complex treatments for rare conditions. Flagship services include cancer, cardiac, respiratory and neurosciences. Together with our research partner, the UCL Institute of Child Health, we form the UK’s only academic biomedical research centre specialising in paediatrics.

Recent developments include the multi-award-winning Zayed Centre for Rare Diseases in Childhood. This landmark building brings together researchers and clinicians in collaborative workspaces and laboratories to advance the treatment and management of rare diseases. In 2021, GOSH opened the first dedicated facility for the care of children with hearing and sight impairment.
