Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement to enhance clinical care, operations, research, and education through digital advancements.
The agreement builds on an existing relationship and establishes a framework for closer collaboration, aiming to integrate emerging technologies into the hospital to improve patient outcomes, support staff, and advance research and education. Both organisations are recognised leaders in digital innovation, committed to the safe development and adoption of new technologies for the benefit of children, families, and the NHS.
This collaboration is founded on the belief that healthcare organisations and industry partners can achieve more together. By combining GOSH's clinical expertise and digital maturity with AWS's cloud computing, data infrastructure, and artificial intelligence (AI) experience, the organisations intend to accelerate data and technology capabilities to address complex healthcare challenges.
Aligned with GOSH's 'Together We Power Care' strategy, the collaboration will focus on four key areas: clinical care, operations, research, and education. Opportunities will be explored to provide clinicians with better access to information and decision-support tools, streamline operational processes, strengthen digital foundations for research, and equip staff with AI skills.
The initiative also aims to enhance the experience for children and families by enabling more personalised, connected, and accessible services, supporting GOSH's goal of translating technological advancements into real-world impact. The collaboration is jointly governed by leaders from both organisations and is planned to run until 2030.
