Job overview
A key part of the GOSH Above and Beyond strategy is to create a new, world‑leading Children’s Cancer Centre – a unique resource for children with some of the most complex cancers. With wards, a cancer day care centre and critical care facility, the centre will provide holistic personalised and co‑ordinated care for children with cancer. The facility will also include a theatres complex, highly specialised imaging equipment, a new hospital school and a main reception and welcome space for the whole hospital. GOSH NHS Trust and GOSH Charity are working together on this new development.
