Learning Disability Nurses
Learning Disability Nurses support people with learning disabilities to maintain their health and wellbeing within a broader social context. They assist individuals of all ages to live their lives as fully and independently as possible while respecting their rights and dignity.
Learning disability nurses work with service users and patients, and their families and carers to assess their needs and draw up care plans, monitoring the implementation of recommendations. They work in multidisciplinary teams with other nurses and health and social welfare professionals to help people with learning disabilities cope with basic living skills and social activities to ensure they lead healthy and fulfilling life.
