The Family Wall Project continues

Celebrating the teams involved in a patient's care

Families have often shared with us how our hospital can become a home-away-from-home, and for some, like a second family.

A couple of years ago we decided to create something within our hospital buildings that celebrates this and highlights the complex mix of specialist care our patients often have at GOSH.

This sparked our ‘Family Wall’ project, with the idea to showcase our patients with each member of their 'GOSH Family'.

To create this project, we worked with four GOSH families, capturing them with each member of their 'GOSH family'. These were Alyssa, Sami, Zayne, Zion, Amelia and Lena.

Expanding our wall

This summer we decided to create a second home for Zayne and Zion's and Amelia and Lena's wall to sit beside Alyssa and Sami's, and expand Amelia and Lena's wall to include a few more of their 'GOSH families' including:

  • Imaging family
  • Electronic Patient Record Family
  • Digital innovation family
  • Genomics family

Have a sneak peek at the new wall below, and make sure you come and visit it next time you're in the hospital.
