Coronavirus (COVID-19)

GOSH continues to be open and safe to support our patients and families. However, due to the current national lockdown we will need to make some changes to appointments and admissions and will contact you directly about this.

If you are coming to GOSH for an outpatient appointment, only one carer per family will be allowed into the hospital.

If your child is staying at GOSH for up to 14 days, only one carer per family will be able to visit and this should be the same carer throughout. For stays of 15 days or more the primary carer should only change once a week. Primary carers will be asked to test for coronavirus before admission.

Unfortunately, siblings will not be able to visit. We may also ask to test your child for coronavirus.

Thank you for helping to keep everyone at GOSH safe. You can find more information and the latest updates in our Coronavirus Hub:
