Nursing at GOSH

Our cancer and mixed-specialty wards will provide you with a unique clinical knowledge and an experience unrivalled across the UK.

We treat seriously ill children with rare and complex conditions. Our patients are seen either on our haematology and oncology ward or our mixed-specialty wards, which offers our staff a breadth of knowledge in specialist paediatrics. Our nursing team are able to gain a broad base of nursing care experience due to this unique environment.

Our families come from around the world, but we don’t expect you to have experience working with international families. Our friendly and dedicated Practice Development Team will ensure you get the training and support you need to work with our families. We also have a dedicated in-house Arabic Interpreting team who are on hand to assist staff with interpreting needs.
