Course Overview

Learning disability nursing is an exciting and rewarding career where you can support people from a range of backgrounds to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. Learning disability nurses provide hands-on care, as well as emotional and educational support in order to promote an individuals independence. They work in peoples homes, schools, respite units, hospitals, and security services to empower individuals to achieve their potential and have more choice and control over their lives. Working in partnership with the individual and their families, learning disability nurses work independently and with other professionals, learning how to respond to individual needs. This course provides a flexible way to fit study around work and life, using mainly digital technologies, but still including practical, hands-on experience. Although the theoretical component is predominantly delivered online, youll attend the campus in Huddersfield (or a similar venue close to your home) for a maximum total of four one-week blocks for simulation and skills training. You'll do this in each year of the course, providing the opportunity for you to practice skills in a safe and controlled environment. Youll also undertake practice placements across the NHS and healthcare organizations in a setting close to home.
