Learning Disability Nursing

About this course

Learning disability nursing is a field of professional practice dedicated to supporting people with learning disabilities to live with dignity, autonomy, and the best possible quality of life. Learning disabilities affect how people understand information, learn new skills, and manage independently, and nurses in this specialism work across health and social care settings to provide holistic, person-centred care that addresses medical, emotional, social, and practical needs. The role requires specialist knowledge, deep compassion, strong communication skills, and the ability to advocate for some of the most vulnerable people in society. At the University of Chester, this three-year programme leads to registration as a nurse in the learning disability field with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. You will develop a thorough understanding of the holistic care needs of people with learning
