Clinics and wards used by the Infectious diseases team

Pelican Ward at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) cares for children and young people with dermatology (skin) and rheumatology (joint and muscle) conditions. It will also look after children with infectious diseases and some immunology disorders.

There are 16 beds, all of which are in single cubicles with en suite bathrooms and space for one parent to stay. There are also six spaces for patients who visit the ward for treatment during the day.

Pelican Ward is mainly run by our team of nurses, who work closely with the doctors to care for your child. Other staff who work on the ward include the discharge coordinator, physiotherapists, a ward administrator, social workers, occupational therapists, healthcare assistants, a play specialist, dietitians and housekeeping staff.

The following members of staff will be available to help you during your stay on the ward:

• Ward Sister: Sarah Murphy
