“Patients are the reason we do the jobs we do, and bringing them into our laboratory world really helps cement that fact.”

At Great Ormond Street Hospital, Rachel Moss and her team have been delivering Harvey’s Lab Tours since 2016, offering young patients a unique opportunity to see how biomedical scientists process their samples.

Every visit is carefully planned, with input from infection control, laboratory managers, and clinical teams to ensure safety and engagement. Dry ice demonstrations, microscope slides, and hands-on activities all help children connect what they see in the lab to the care they receive in hospital.
