This is for people without LDA who were missing out and have equally unnecessary admissions into a restrictive environment for lengthy stays. If it work's for people with LD it works for everyone

The new commitment document is fairly imminent so you’ll be able to see the national plans then. Obviously our EoE #chooseLDNursing group has a clear action plan. See you at the next meeting on 10th for regional updates. 😊

We need more learning disability nurses. I’m biased as I used to be one. With increasing numbers of children with disability and additional support needs, the transferable skills LD nurses have (including education) are needed more and more.

Having recently witnessed the skills of learning disability nurses in care of a patient with autism that I was helping to care for, I would 100 % say yes. We need more learning disability nurses in all areas of health & social care.

'This magnificently written, breathtakingly comprehensive book is a milestone, offering solid theoretical grounding and practical approaches for making mental health care more accessible to autistic children and young people, while encouraging their autonomy and learning from their insights. The authors are on the front lines of a compassionate transformation in society's understanding of neurodivergent people that is both long overdue and desperately needed.’
