Nurses in Hospitals
Rainbows employs specialist nurses who work within hospitals across the East Midlands, delivering expert palliative care to babies, children, young people, and their families. Our Clinical Nurse Specialists are based in each of the region’s acute hospital trusts and work collaboratively across antenatal, neonatal, children’s hospital, and community settings.

Supported by our team in the hospice, Rainbows Nurses in hospitals provide specialist palliative and end of life care and support to babies, children and young people who have a life-limiting or life-threatening condition. The Nurses are part of the wider Rainbows team ensuring that wherever the child is, they can access specialist palliative care.
The knowledge and experience our Rainbows Nurses bring will not only help the families of children who have life-threatening and life-limiting conditions, but will also be a support to our NHS colleagues.
By putting Rainbows Nurses into local communities, we can play a key role in identifying those children and families who may benefit from Rainbows support and make families aware of their choices; care at Rainbows, in hospital or at home.
Since launching in early 2020, the programme has seen around 30% more neonates, children and young people referred to us, meaning more families will benefit from our care and support.
