If your child or young person has an appointment at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), their social work team can advise on:
If your child needs to go to hospital either as an inpatient or outpatient, we recommend you complete a hospital passport (PDF). This will provide staff with important information about your child and can help make appointments and hospital stays run smoothly.
If your child has autism, there is a hospital passport for autistic people which helps parents tell the doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals about their child's needs.
Most hospitals have an Acute Liaison Nurse, who can work with staff to help them understand the needs of your child. They can also advise what reasonable adjustments (PDF) are needed to make your child's hospital stay as comfortable as possible. View details of Local Acute Liaison Nurses (PDF).
