The Role of Learning Disability Nurses - Resources

NHS England and Improvement (NHSEI) Learning Disability Team funded NDTi to do two pieces of work to explore the role of learning disability nursing in England.

The purpose of this work was to give a voice to registered learning disability nurses (RNLDs), Allied Health Professionals (AHPs), people with a learning disability and their supporters about the role and its place in health and social care. Both pieces of work were undertaken to inform the future of the profession and celebrate the skills, attributes and knowledge of those who work within it. They were also designed to challenge the profession by presenting the idea of a ‘reset, in which the profession not only reasserts its unique identity and worth but invites the voices of its critics to understand where it might improve.
