Learning Disabilities Nursing & Social Work at Edge Hill University - UCAS

Course summary

Make a difference to the lives of people with learning disabilities. Gain eligibility to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a qualified learning disabilities nurse and apply for registration with Social Work England as a qualified social worker. Being unwell can be stressful for anyone. For vulnerable people, it can be an even scarier experience. These individuals depend on support from social workers and nurses who understand their needs. Join us to train as an integrated learning disabilities nursing and understand the role of social work practitioner. Explore topics from health, social care, education and other related areas. Discover what it means to be part of multidisciplinary teams. This innovative and intensive integrated Masters is delivered alongside our partners in the Cheshire & Merseyside Social Work Teaching Partnership, and leads to eligibility for two professional awards. To prepare for provision of treatments for adults with learning disabilities, you’ll explore their complex needs. This includes everything from psychosocial issues to communication difficulties, behavioural challenges to end-of-life care. In your social work modules, you’ll look at a range of issues relating to social justice, structural inequality, anti-discriminatory and anti-oppressive practice. By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills and practical experience you need to excel in the role of learning disability nurse. You’ll also understand care through the lenses of service users, their families, and carers.
