Currently, over 250 Roald Dahl Nurses care for more than 50,000 children living with complex, lifelong conditions. But there are many more children who do not receive this vital specialist care. 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. Roald Dahl Nurses are a vital lifeline to the whole family. They coordinate care, provide emotional support, and offer a trusted, familiar presence both in hospital and at home. They help families feel less overwhelmed and isolated and more in control.
