We've been referred to GOSH for Ponseti treatment starting next week. Has anyone had their casting done there?
How long are appointments? Parking or public transport? Which consultant did you see? We're travelling from Essex so want to be prepared!

We had all our casting at GOSH! The team is incredible. Mr Pirani was our consultant and he was fantastic - so gentle with babies.
Appointments about 30-45 mins. Parking is TERRIBLE - tube is better (Russell Square or Kings Cross). Waiting area can be cramped. Bring something for the wait!

We're at GOSH too! Currently on cast 4. Team is lovely. Parking is impossible - we park at NCP on Bloomsbury (£25/day though 😩). Tube is definitely better.
Appointments run pretty much on time. Maybe 10-15 min wait max. Actual casting takes about 20 mins. Good luck!! 💙

GOSH is brilliant. Worth the travel 100%. We came from Kent, 90 mins each way, but the quality of care made it absolutely worth it.
There's a Costa in the main building and a Pret nearby. The play room on outpatient floor is lovely if you have older kids 👍
