Great Ormond Street Hospital

Very good hospital, the doctors are very caring and the nurses are very helpful. Everyone, including Admin staff, cafeteria staff and others were quite helpful. Best place.

I just say a big Thank you to every single person working in Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital. They took care of my daughter as if it was their own child. They succeeded in making such an unpleasant experience into a relatively nice one. The nurses were so very caring and didn’t let her stay alone even for 1 minute. They definitely deserve all the charity they receive because they are our society’s angels.

Good service provider. The staff are eager and helpful and makes the hospital a cheerful place for children.

Amazing healthcare for children with complicated conditions. Some one friend of mine confirmed that ‘Great Ormond Street Children Hospital’ has special input on eczema for children? Can some one update that ‘Aloe Propolis Cream’ is good for
eczema and in use at
’Great Ormond Street Children Hospital’
Thank you in advance!

What an amazing group of people and an amazing institution.
Great Ormond Street deserve all the support they can get they have changed the lives of so many and their families.
God Bless you.

Don’t believe the hype about Great Ormond Street hospital. I think the use of technology and research in the hospital means that they can provide services which can’t be obtained anywhere else, but in my experience their nursing care is very variable and the cleaning and catering are just as variable as elsewhere in the UK.
My son spent long periods of time in the hospital and we had some horrendous experiences here: his blood pressure wasn’t checked after an operation for eight hours (until I demended it should be), he was nearly given a double dose of paracetamol (and would have been if I hadn’t argued with a nurse), we spent hours listenin to other patient’s TVs at top volume even late at night, and the ensuite bathrooms attached to some of the rooms he stayed in were little short of disgusting.
I’d say don’t expect the worst… but don’t expect the best either.

Went here when I was a kiddy and they fixed me up proper!

I love this hospital as they really go the extra mile. The staff are like angels and never seem to busy or stressed. My friend spent a little time here and they really took care of her. The docters are approachable and sincere and they want to help. It also very very clean but as with all hospital they could do with extra funding.

This is an absolutely amazing hospital and you can really see that it is built primarily with children in mind, it is incredible to see the difference between Great Ormond Street and a usual adult-​centred hospital. The outpatient waiting rooms feature video game stations and tables with art and craft activities to enjoy so they do not get bored. Some of the best and most qualified and experienced staff in paediatrics work here and you can really tell by how knowledgeable they are and how they engage and interact with the children. It certainly benefits from being a charity as well as receiving all the usual NHS funding.

Well first let me say, I hope you never have to go here. Because if you have a reason to go here, then there’s a good chance things aren’t going too well for a child you care about right now.
But on a better note — if that child is in Great Ormond Street, you can be very confident that everything is going to be okay. Because this place might just be one of the most magical places in the world. This is where miracles happen. This is where the greatest Doctors and Nurses in the world are. This is a hospital where kids are kept entertained by clowns and hospital radio, this is the place where children with the worst diseases get healed and where research is carried out to make sure even more get healed in the future.
It’s a depressing fact that children get ill. You’d think prior to creation that God could have at least made a minimum age for illnesses as 18 or something. Unfortunately, that’s not the case, but rest assured this place is doing everything it can to rectify matters.

Its clearly a very well designed hospital and has benefited hugely from the massive amount of funding it gets from charity and the staff here are very nice.

Fantastic hospital, my little girl had to have surgery there and the staff were amazing and really helped us through the experience. The hospital itself is really good and has a lot of facilities with good playrooms for the kids. The staff restaurant (which inpatients are allowed to use) is excellent value for money and they allow you to take your meals back up to your childs ward which is great.

Can’t praise this hospital and it’s staff enough. I was an outpatient as a child and they made what should have been unpleasant experiences into nice ones. My daughter had to have surgery there and the staff were just amazing and so caring.
