Ophthalmic and Vision Science – Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust
At Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) we see children with eye problems and also systemic conditions which affect the eye. Some conditions may be life limiting or disfiguring. The work is rewarding but on occasion may be distressing, emotional and stressful. Working with young patients is fulfilling and fun, it requires patience, resilience, humour and close team work in pairs.
Whilst based at GOSH, the trainee may need to travel to other hospitals in London for their rotations – all sites are easily accessible by public transport. GOSH is part of the OVS education consortium.
