NHS 75th Anniversary celebrations at GOSH
7 Jul 2023, 10 a.m.
The NHS turned 75 on the 5th July. Take a look at how we celebrated at GOSH and said a big thank you to everyone in the incredible GOSH family.
Our staff members were paid a visit by some of our therapy dogs for cuddles.
GOSH families and staff wrote postcards about what GOSH means to them at the GOSH Charity desk.
Former GOSH patient Tom Bright returned to GOSH to be reunited with his surgeon Professor Lewis Spitz. He performed his song Remarkable Things for our staff members. Read more about Tom’s story here.
We took a walk down memory lane with the GOSH Archivist. Take a look at some of our key moments over the last 75 years here.
A big thank to GOSH Charity who helped spread the word of the anniversary at Russel Square Tube station.
