The involvement of a learning disability nurse in the care of Lauretta and Jerry Ofulue's learning-disabled son gifted them with valuable time and made him more visible as a boy than a patient. This inspirational nurse provided understanding and supported other professionals with important evidence to manage his care more effectively. Following the death of their son, Jerry and Lauretta Ofulue both trained as learning disability nurses to improve the numbers in the workforce to support other families and clients. Learning disability nurse and health visitor Lauretta Ofulue also now appears in one of Dance Syndrome’s videos, which seek to encourage more people to join the profession.
