University of Lancashire, United Kingdom

Course Overview

Registered learning disabilities nurses may also work with autistic people and people with acquired brain injuries. You'll gain the skills required to practice nursing effectively and professionally in a variety of health and social care settings, with an emphasis on compassion, communication, and dignity in care. People with learning disabilities and autistic people can experience greater health inequalities than many other people in society. As a learning disabilities nurse, you will deliver specialist healthcare to children and adults in a wide range of settings. This includes people's homes, specialist clinics, hospitals, nursing, and residential homes, hospices, and forensic settings. Learning disabilities nurses work in multi-disciplinary teams with the person, their family and carers, and other health and social care professionals to promote independent and fulfilling lives.
