I myself work in a hospital at mental health and can I just say this hospital is amazing. My son has been attending since he was born. now 14 years old for a rare congenital heart defect. He had open heart surgery in 2008.Recently he was having trouble being tired and dizzy and chest pain. He collapsed at school and cardiac arrested at school he was rushed to Great Ormond street and stayed there for 2 weeks until he was fully ready for surgery. He then underwent a risky second open heart surgery in June. The surgeons were amazing explaining every step of the way and their skill was prenominal the staff here are the only that I put my full trust into .After 17 hours he was taken out of surgery barely alive. He remained in a coma for 1 week and it was amazing the care they were giving him even though they did not have to. We had a place to stay for free. My son has just left the hospital and is on his way to a full recovery. He attended an outpatient appointment yesterday and all is good. The staff are highly skilled very sociable and hospital itself is terrific.The technology is the latest able to treat even the sickest of children.Their knowledge they have is unbelievable. They have their own school the rooms are modern and clean. I can not fault this place. My son was in hospital on eid and the staff were nice enough to throw him a party and give him gifts. Tell me another place that would do that .None.I would specifically like to thank a nurse on bear ward and Surgeon and a nurse on walrus. Also the consultant. Without the staff at Gosh my son would not be here today. He now has 3 monthly appointments. LOVE YOU GOSH
