Clinics and wards used by the Haematology and Oncology department

The Haematology and Oncology department at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) operates across two wards and one Day Care Unit with an Outpatient department.

Lion Ward and Elephant Ward are located on Level 6 of the Variety Club Building (VCB) and comprise 31 single cubicles, each with an en-suite shower and toilet to provide privacy and to isolate patients in the event of minor infections.

Three cubicles will take priority for high-dependency patients such as babies on high-dose therapy.

Daycare facilities are provided on a dedicated paediatric haematology/oncology facility.

Safari Daycare is located on Level 9, wings B, C, D and E of the Southwood Building. Outpatient chemotherapy is delivered in Safari Daycare which is configured as four distinct areas:
