What impact do learning (intellectual) disabilities nurses have?

Calling on ALL learning (intellectual) disability nurses to participate in an RCN Foundation funded research project.

The RCN Foundation is funding a study which aims to identify nursing led and or nursing centred interventions undertaken by learning (intellectual) disability nurses to address the changing needs of people with learning (intellectual) disabilities across the lifespan and in all settings. The research will make explicit what learning (intellectual) disability nurses do. This research will also highlight areas of further research investment in nursing interventions and innovations that will further improve patient care for people with learning (intellectual) disabilities. 

We are requesting all registered learning (intellectual) disability nurses to participate in a survey to further develop this work. The survey takes 20-30 minutes to complete.
