TO celebrate 150 years of caring for sick children in 2002, Great Ormond Street Hospital is on the hunt for past patients, nurses and doctors.

Were you a patient, or the parent of a patient who benefited from pioneering surgery? Or perhaps you remember going to the hospital school?

As a researcher, nurse, surgeon or doctor, what memories do you hold? Did you see any major advances in surgery?

If you would like to share your experiences and play a part in Great Ormond Street Hospital's birthday year, please contact Julia Garden on 020 7829 8671 or email on garden@gosh.nhs.uk before the Christmas season draws to a close.
