To celebrate Nurses’ Day 2019, the learning disability nursing team took the opportunity to celebrate the 100th anniversary of their profession by creating a display in the entrance of the Allam Medical Building from 10am-4pm Friday 10th May and Monday 13th May. This was staffed by team members at key times, otherwise browsable with the facility to leave questions, comments and requests for resources. Those stopping by to mark the occasion were able to pick up some key facts and top tips on supporting improved health for people with learning disabilities. As many students were offsite preparing for assessment, we extended best wishes and signposting to resources via their Canvas Programme sites, for example:
Leading UK charity Mencap includes, for example Health
Mental Health Foundation (MHF) with Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities (FPLD) includes, for example Learning disability statistics: children
RED nightclub for adults with learning disabilities and their friends at the Students’ Union, volunteers welcome
Confidential Inquiry into Premature deaths Of people with Learning Disabilities (CIPOLD)
Learning Disabilities Mortality Review (LeDeR) Programme
