UndergraduateCourse summary
Study our learning disabilities nursing degree for a rewarding career supporting people with learning disabilities and helping to achieve equality in health care. Learning disabilities nurses play an important role in the health and well-being of people with learning disabilities, as well as their families and carers. They work in a variety of specialist settings and within generic services to provide support. Our degree provides you with the skills to meet the needs of people with learning disabilities, including those with complex needs.
