There was a debate in the House of Lords on Tuesday about the decline in numbers and a commitment to support options to prevent the extinction of this vital field of nursing. The upcoming 10 year plan will also contain details. It's important to keep up the good fight ๐Ÿ’ช

This is a significantly short sighted viewpoint. It underplays the significant contribution LD Nurses make to the lives of people with learning disabilities and overplays Oliver McGowans training impact. What is actually being done to change this narrative?

learning disability It was led by Baroness Rosa Monckton who has been incredibly supportive of Registered Nurses in Learning Disabilities - as discussed with MP Satvir Kaur this morning hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2025-06-โ€ฆ

It was a positive meeting, but there is much more that we need to do to persuade the government of the life changing - indeed life extending -difference made by learning disability nurses. We need more, and they need the recognition they deserve.
