Building the hospital of the future

Aerobatic buses, 175 floors of hospital and robot-assisted surgery are all predictions for the next seventy years of Great Ormond Street Hospital made by the very people who the hospital helps – our patients!

To celebrate the 70th birthday of the NHS this year, we asked patients to share their vision for the next 70 years of GOSH. Our patient-predictors delivered, with answers swinging between the sensible and the surreal. Will children at GOSH be treated with robot-assisted surgery – or by dancing unicorns? Watch the video and share your dreams for the next 70 years of GOSH by tweeting us @GreatOrmondSt and using the hashtag #NHS70.
