Learning Disabilities Nursing & Social Work

About this course

Learning disabilities nursing and social work together represent a powerful commitment to supporting some of the most vulnerable people in society. Learning disabilities nurses work with people who have intellectual disabilities across a lifetime, supporting their health, wellbeing, and quality of life in care homes, community settings, hospitals, and specialist services. Social workers assess need, coordinate support, advocate for the rights of individuals and families, and navigate complex systems on behalf of those who need help.
