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
Roald Dahl Specialist Nurses are a vital lifeline to the children and their families, supporting them clinically and emotionally. They co-ordinate care and are often there for them until adulthood. Although Roald Dahl Nurses operate across a number of different specialisms, they are all specialist nurses who are make a huge difference to children and families.
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.
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.
Our Marvellous Family Support Services are available for families supported by a Roald Dahl Nurse. We offer financial support, emotional support, training, and much more.
