Bliss Scotland

Bliss Scotland is part of Bliss, the UK’s leading charity for babies born premature or sick, and is registered with the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR).

Our vision

Bliss Scotland’s vision is that every baby born premature or sick in Scotland has the best chance of survival and quality of life.

Our mission

Bliss Scotland champions the right for every baby born premature or sick to receive the best care. We achieve this by empowering families, influencing policy and practice, and enabling life-changing research.

Empower families

Evidence shows that babies are more likely to thrive when their families are fully involved in their hospital care.

Bliss Scotland empowers families with the information and support they need to provide hands-on care and make decisions about their baby.

Influence policy and practice

Babies deserve the highest quality hospital care, however long they live or however long they spend in hospital.

Bliss Scotland works with doctors and nurses to improve care for babies and campaigns within government and NHS Scotland for investment and better standards for babies.

Enable life-changing research

Research has the power to change the lives of babies born premature or sick, giving them the best chance of survival and quality of life. Bliss Scotland supports vital neonatal research to make positive changes to the lives of babies now and for generations to come.
