We need confidence to reimagine learning disability nursing
With registered learning disability nursing at a tipping point, confident and articulate nurses can reimagine the profession and promote its outcome-driven value. Learning disability nursing recruitment has dropped considerably and the number of registered learning disability nurses on the NMC register is at an all-time low. The ambition to remodel the NHS workforce and the emphasis on overcoming health inequalities in the NHS Long Term Plan presents learning disability nursing with a timely platform to, once again, reimagine itself through its outcome-driven value.
