Background information Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) is acknowledged as one of the world s leading children s hospitals. Children are referred from all over the UK and overseas and are often in need of treatment for the most complex and life threatening illnesses. Working in partnership with the UCL Institute of Child Health (ICH), the hospital is the largest paediatric research and training centre in Europe and one of a very small number of internationally recognised centres of excellence in the field of child health. We raise money to enable GOSH to provide world-class care for its young patients and their families by: contributing to the rebuilding and refurbishment of the hospital supporting ground-breaking research into the development of new treatment funding the most up-to-date equipment providing accommodation and other support services for children and their families Redevelopment In order to maintain and advance our position as one of the world s leading centres for paediatric care and research, we desperately need to upgrade our oldest buildings and create additional space to allow more children to be treated. Our ambitious four-phase redevelopment programme aims to rebuild two thirds of the hospital site over a 20-year period. The Morgan Stanley Clinical Building, the first part of the Mittal Children's Medical Centre, was opened in June 2012. Three of the hospital s largest specialities, cardiac, renal and neurosciences, have moved into the building. They have experienced a huge difference, with larger ward spaces and facilities, cutting-edge equipment and new operating theatres, along with a new family and staff restaurant with a 3D cinema and a Disney interactive play area. The Premier Inn Clinical Building, which completes the Mittal Children s Medical centre, will open in 2017. It will house a new surgery centre alongside inpatient wards for medical specialties including Rheumatology, Dermatology, Infectious Diseases, Neurosciences and Cardio-respiratory. The completion of the building will realise GOSH's vision to provide modern facilities for our acute inpatients, including space for a parent or carer to stay comfortably by their child s bedside. The next phase of our redevelopment programme is the creation of the Centre for Research into Rare Disease in Children. This will be a world-class multidisciplinary centre of excellence that will bring together clinicians from GOSH and researchers from UCL ICH. Construction will begin in 2015 and is due to be completed in 2018.
Background information Research Carrying out research into the best way to fight children s illnesses has been one of our main ambitions ever since the hospital opened in 1852. Across the joint institution we are dedicated to both clinical and basic scientific research that benefits not only children at the hospital, but right across the UK and, ultimately, around the world. This has been recognised through the award of Biomedical Research Centre status by the National Institute of Health Research the only such UK centre focussing exclusively on children s research. In the last decade years alone, our research has led to numerous innovative developments including the world s first stem cell supported tracheal transplant in a child and new curative gene therapies for seven immune system disorders. Equipment Every year, we support Great Ormond Street Hospital by funding the purchase of replacement or additional medical equipment. This enables the clinical and research teams to take advantage of advances in medical science and technology to deliver better care to children and to replace old equipment that is no longer fit for purpose. Patient and family support We believe in caring not only for the child but for the whole family. This care comes in many forms, from financial advice and Play Specialists, to providing funding towards patient accommodation in the patient hotel in Weston House, or towards family accommodation in various locations in and near the hospital.
