Notices for patients and visitors

Information for patients and visitors to Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Measles outbreak in North London

We are aware of an increase in measles cases across London and the UK. If your child has a rash or has not been vaccinated and you have been informed measles is circulating in your child's school or nursery, please contact your clinical team for advice about attending the hospital.

If any siblings or visitors have a rash or have been exposed and are not vaccinated, please do not bring them to the Trust.

Noise at GOSH

Due to ongoing works to develop our new Children's Cancer Centre, the hospital may feel a bit different and there may be some noise and vibrations caused by the works.

If you or your child are sensitive to loud noises, you may wish to bring ear defenders with you to your appointment.

If you have any concerns, please speak to your clinical teams.

Find out more about the building works at GOSH.
