Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) is delighted to announce the launch of a new, dedicated Twitter channel (@GreatOrmondSt) for the Trust.

From Monday 3 September 2018, we’ll be tweeting about the wonderful world of GOSH – including stories of our remarkable patients, their families and our amazing staff who make GOSH so special.

We’ve got lots to share! We’ll be sharing more of what makes the hospital such an extraordinary place – including clinical updates and world-firsts, research breakthroughs, news from our executive team, day-in-the-life profiles of GOSH staff and, of course, our patient and family stories.

We’re moving away from the shared Twitter feed with GOSH Charity, though we’ll still be chatting away with them on Twitter! To catch up on the latest charity activities follow @GOSHCharity.

And to join in the conversation tweet us @GreatOrmondSt, the go to place for all GOSH hospital news and activity.
