Annual General Meeting and Annual Members' Meetings

The GOSH Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Annual Members Meeting (AMM) is a chance for members, governors, staff, and the public to come together to review how we have performed in the last year.

This will generally consist of highlights from the previous 12 months, a review of our quality, safety and financial performance, a report from our Lead Governor on Trust membership and a look forward to the future. Each meeting has a dedicated theme.

On Wednesday 25 September 2024 our Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Annual Members Meeting (AMM) will celebrate: It takes a team: the GOSH family.

GOSH is a very special place, because of the people in it. It takes a huge team to care for one child and think about a future where we continue to put the child first, always. You may have seen our Family Wall in the hospital which celebrates the pathway of four different children and families, and all the clinicians and carers who helped support them through their journeys. In total, there were 226 staff members involved in the care and support for these four children – across 36 different teams at GOSH! We hope to be joined on the day by one of these families who will talk about how their treatment journey involved multiple teams, known to them as their GOSH family.

"Working at GOSH is an enormous privilege. Every day I see colleagues work with dedication and commitment to put the child first and always. We are one team united by a common purpose and we can achieve so much as one team in the year ahead"

Mat Shaw - Chief Executive
