What is a learning disability nurse?

Learning Disability Nurses are registered nurses who specialize in supporting people with learning disabilities to lead fulfilling and independent lives. They assess individual needs, develop care plans, and work closely with patients, their families, and other professionals to provide tailored care and support. Their role includes promoting health, facilitating social inclusion, and helping people with learning disabilities manage physical and mental health conditions. Learning Disability Nurses often work in community settings, residential care, hospitals, and educational environments.
