About Us

Our mission is to provide specialist nurses and support for children living with complex, lifelong conditions.
Our vision is that every child living with a complex, lifelong condition has a Roald Dahl Nurse to help them to lead a more marvellous life.

Roald Dahl Nurses are a vital lifeline to the whole family, coordinating care and providing access to emotional support. They help families feel less overwhelmed and isolated and more in control.

For many families, the road to diagnosis is complex and uncertain, juggling hospital visits, managing medications, and navigating treatments and tests. They are often under the care of multiple specialists, across different hospitals.

Navigating this challenging world can be daunting. That is where our marvellous Roald Dahl Nurses come in - ensuring that families no longer have to face their illnesses alone.

Roald Dahl Nurses

Roald Dahl Nurse Specialists are a vital lifeline to the children and their families, supporting them clinically and emotionally.
Roald Dahl Nurses work in a different and very bespoke way with families, helping them navigate the often stressful health journey they're on, working with them in hospital and in the community to ensure they get the support they need, and being the person families can call on to join them at appointments.

Nurse Development

Nurse Development is key to a Roald Dahl Nurse improving the care and support they give. We work with our nurses to offer opportunities to improve their skills, to build a peer network and to ensure that best practice is shared across the Roald Dahl Nurse network. We also work with our nurses on leadership and service improvement, making them incredibly valuable to their services.

Nurse Led Innovation

We support Roald Dahl Nurses to solve problems creatively. Using a cohort approach, and through forming partnerships we work closely with our nurses to improve healthcare outcomes for children through innovation.
