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.

Watch the video and share your dreams for the next 70 years of GOSH by tweeting us @GreatOrmondSt and using the hashtag #NHS70.
