Abstract

confident, make friends and enjoy activities they have previously only imagined. The children selected are often unable to have such a holiday with their families because they require 24-hour help with their health needs. Many of the children have never been away from their parents or the UK before. Each escort is responsible for the care of two children during the daytime, until a team of night nurses takes over. Care of these children can involve complex communication, urinary catheterisation, dialysis, stoma care, ventilation, wound care, seizure management, oral and gastrostomy care, washing, dressing, medicines management, and moving and handling. I feel honoured and privileged to be part of such a great organisation. Dreamflight is a life-changing experience – for the children who take part and the volunteers who accompany them NS
