Course summary
Nursing (Learning Disabilities) is a rewarding and diverse profession which works with both children and adults. It is one requiring the dedication and skills to deliver person centred care to people with learning disabilities to support them to live as independently as possible. The profession enables you to make a contribution to supporting people with learning disabilities to achieve their potential through caring for people’s physical, psychological and social needs. Through our flexible curriculum and blended learning approach – building up your theoretical knowledge, and then putting it into practice on placement – you’ll develop your holistic, clinical and decision-making skills in line with the demands of modern nursing. Taught by experienced practitioners – and with the additional input of service users and carer groups – you’ll learn from the very best on your journey towards accreditation as a Registered Learning Disabilities Nurse. Our course gives you a robust knowledge of learning disabilities nursing practice – as well as the wider sector – both in and outside of the classroom. It’s the perfect combination of theory and practice, allied to great facilities, modules built around the latest research, and teachers who’ve worked for years in professional healthcare. You’ll develop your nursing knowledge based around:
- a holistic view of patients’ physical and psychological needs
- the chance to refine and apply your clinical and therapeutic skills
- a practice-learning environment, with simulated exercises and activities
- placements in a variety of health and social care settings
- some fantastic opportunities for career development.
