We are a UK wide charity providing specialist nurses and support for children with complex, lifelong conditions.
Roald Dahl Nurses are trained and dedicated specialists who help families by providing coordinated, dedicated, and holistic care. They are a consistent presence in the child’s life from initial diagnosis through to transition to adult services. They don’t just provide care and advise; they reassure and are a pillar of strength in times of uncertainty.
We believe that every seriously ill child deserves a Roald Dahl Nurse.
