GOSH Voice V

GOSH Voice is our new coproduction community, which includes patients, siblings, parents, carers, and wider family, in projects to help us create an even better hospital.

GOSH Voice aims to champion the voices of our patients and families to help improve their experience. We want to highlight the issues most important to our members, and ensure their views and insights are reflected throughout our hospital. It is also an opportunity for our members to meet and engage with other patients and families.

The GOSH Young People’s Forum (YPF) and GOSH Youth Alumni Network are part of GOSH Voice.

GOSH Voice opportunities

We also have lots of opportunities to get involved in, for both young people and adults alike. These include:

  • beatboxing workshop (21 August) - an opportunity for young people to work on a song to celebrate our Chapel’s 150th birthday
  • hospital food workshop
  • help improve the GOSH website
  • Takeover Challenge
  • Children’s Cancer Centre (CCC) parent and carers group

Why getting involves help
