Rare Disease Day takes place on the last day of February every year to raise awareness for rare diseases and the impact they can have on patients’ lives. Many of the children Roald Dahl Specialist Nurses support have a rare disease and we regularly hear about the immense challenges families who have a child with a rare disease face. Before having the support of a Roald Dahl Specialist Nurse, families have had to co-ordinate large numbers of appointments with multiple consultants or feel that they have to cope on their own with the stress of not knowing what the future holds for their child. Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity recognised the urgent need for specialist nursing support for these families and established the UK’s first Rare Disease Specialist Nurses as a result. There are now four Roald Dahl Rare Disease Specialist Nurses at Birmingham Children’s Hospital and one of the children they care for is 7-year old Logan. We caught up with his mum, Sophie to find out more.
