About us
Our mission is to provide specialist nurses and support for seriously ill children living with complex, lifelong conditions.
Our vision is that every seriously ill child has a Roald Dahl Nurse Specialist to help them to lead a more marvellous life.
As a charity that works in partnership with the NHS, we find innovative ways to ensure that children and families have the care and support they need. We do this through improving the healthcare outcomes and resilience of children and families, and we focus on complex, lifelong conditions that are underfunded and under resourced. The outcomes we are aiming to achieve are:
•
Improved quality of care
•
Improved experience of care
•
Improved efficiency and cost effectiveness of care
•
Improved resilience of seriously ill children and their families

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.
