During Paul O’Grady’s Little Heroes, we’re shining a spotlight on the wonderful staff across Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) who help children get better and fulfil their potential. Featuring in episode two is Kate Cross, a Consultant Neonatal and Paediatric Surgeon with a special interest in neuroblastoma surgery.

Kate Cross has been working at the hospital for nine years. In this video, Kate explains why she enjoys working at GOSH and working closely with patients and their families.

"Programmes like Paul O’Grady’s Little Heroes are important because they allow patients and families to share their incredible stories with the general public, and help showcase the amazing work that goes on at GOSH every day."
