Experience Great Ormond Street Hospital in VR

We've opened our (digital) doors – come in and visit us in virtual space.
To help celebrate our 167th birthday, we're sharing a behind-the-scenes look at the hospital through our 360° video. Bring the hospital into your own home to see the impact Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) has on the young people we treat.

The areas of the hospital that feature are:
- Main entrance and reception
- The hospital’s urology centre – Eagle Ward bay area and a patient bedroom on cardiac ward Bear Ward
