The Organisation
Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity’s 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, focusing 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
