Rhino outpatients

Rhino is on the ground (level two) floor of the main hospital building. When you arrive at the main entrance to Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), turn right through the double doors then follow the signs through to Rhino.

This video provides a guided tour to Rhino Outpatients. If you're unable to watch the video, download our handy map below.

Rhino is run by our experienced clinic staff, comprising Clinic Assistants, Health Care Assistants, Phlebotomists, Staff Nurses, Senior Staff Nurses, a Learning Disability Nurse and a Sister.

As well as regular clinics, Rhino is where some pre-admission assessment is carried out – this might involve seeing various members of the team and having imaging scans and tests to plan treatment. This can take a morning or afternoon or the entire day.
