Nursing (Learning Disabilities)

About this course

Learning disabilities nursing is a specialist branch of nursing focused on supporting people with learning disabilities to live as full and healthy a life as possible.

Learning disabilities nurses work to address these inequalities, advocating for patients, supporting independence, and providing holistic care that addresses physical health, mental health, and wellbeing together. This three-year full-time programme at the University of Gloucestershire leads to registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a learning disabilities nurse. You will study the biology and psychology of learning disabilities, person-centred
