About research and innovation at GOSH
Carrying out research into the best way to fight children’s illnesses has been one of our three main ambitions ever since our hospital opened in 1852. We’ve come a long way since then and, with our research partner the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health (ICH), we now form the largest paediatric centre in Europe dedicated to both clinical and basic scientific research. We were awarded NIHR Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) status in 2007 and we are the only solely paediatric-focussed BRC in the UK.
We know that patients treated at hospitals that carry out research have better outcomes – they have more confidence in their care, they feel more informed and they tend to survive longer.
GOSH hosts a first-of-its kind innovation unit and supports a culture of research and innovation to become an Intelligent Research Hospital.
We are proud of our long history of pioneering breakthroughs in children's medicine. Find out more about our most exciting milestones – the unique achievements that have made Great Ormond Street Hospital one of the world's leading centres for treating childhood disease.
