A big shout out to our friends and colleagues doing such an amazing job. You are all awesome!! 🤩
💙 Today we’re marking Learning Disability Nurses’ Day, recognising the vital role these professionals play in promoting safety, dignity and inclusion for people with a learning disability.
People with a learning disability often face barriers in accessing healthcare and experience poorer outcomes as a result. Learning disability nurses make a real difference - by listening, advocating, and making sure care meets each person’s individual needs.
Their work helps reduce health inequalities and ensures that everyone is treated with respect and understanding.
Our Code and standards of proficiency support learning disability nurses to provide safe, person-centred and compassionate care across all settings. Find out more: https://www.nmc.org.uk/standards/
