GOSH Voice is our vibrant new coproduction community at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). It is designed to bring together patients, siblings, parents, carers, and extended family to help shape the future of the hospital. It’s all about listening to lived experience, championing diverse voices, and co-creating meaningful change.
We also have lots of opportunities, projects and workshops for our members to get involved in. Across the next few months, we have projects looking at teenage healthcare, the new Children’s Cancer Centre, hospital food, the GOSH website, amongst many others.
How can I get involved?
If you’re interested in becoming a GOSH Voice member, please click the
'Fill in an application' button to get started.
We'll ask you a few questions to get to know more about you, and the type of projects you're interested in. Once we've approved your application you'll be able to sign up to any of the opportunities you're interested in.
We try and approve all applications as quickly as we can. If you're under 16, we'll need your parent/carer to complete a consent form so we know they're happy for you to take part.
What's the commitment?
You are welcome to join in with as many or as few projects as you are able to- we promise there is no pressure or judgement!
Some of our projects are one-off events, whilst some projects meet regularly across a period of months.
Below you may notice that some of the opportunities have 'shifts' - this just shows if it's a one-off opportunity or a recurring group. You're welcome to join in in as many or as few as you like- whether you choose to join in 0 or 100!
Is it free to get involved in GOSH Voice? Do I get paid?
It is free to be a member of GOSH Voice.
Most of our opportunities are voluntary, however for some we offer compensation such as a gift voucher, in return for taking part. This will be clearly indicated on each project.
If a project is face to face, we will always reimburse travel and provide refreshments.
We are also lucky that the GOSH charity frequently offer our members free tickets to opportunities such as Premier League football matches, theatre tickets, and other sporting and entertainment events.
Got questions or need help signing up?
