This will help us in #ResearchNet - Explaining differences between care homes versus assisted living for people with learning disabilities
Explaining differences between care homes versus assisted living for people with learning disabilities: Angela Fletcher
I was on a panel at the Care Show in Birmingham recently and one of the questions I was asked was how my services are different to the shiny new all-singing all-dancing care homes that are popping up.

The new commitment document is fairly imminent so you’ll be able to see the national plans then. Obviously our EoE #chooseLDNursing group has a clear action plan. See you at the next meeting on 10th for regional updates. 😊

Yes there are groups campaigning as our system is failing as much as SEND system in England. We want to promote having more learning disability nurses as part of the assessment processes in education and educational planning or educating teacher, in our journey through education

I’ve found there to be poor knowledge base , lack of multidisciplinary working and reliance on “ toolkits” to support neurodivergent children in totally inappropriate environments. Hence all the “ ghost” children throughout UK.

Increased poor mental health for neurodivergent children and young people will lead to increased needs as adults.

We need more learning disability nurses. I’m biased as I used to be one. With increasing numbers of children with disability and additional support needs, the transferable skills LD nurses have (including education) are needed more and more.

Is it time for a Government petition to bring back the full bursary for LD Nurses. Many mature students made up the workforce in the past. We need to save the profession as it is in more demand than ever across mainstream and specialist services but numbers on the register are at rock bottom !
