About this Event
Against a backdrop of a significant decrease in the number of learning disability nurses training to work in England’s health and care services, and the needs of people with Learning Disability becoming more complex as they live longer, the time is right to examine how the workforce can be supported and strengthened.
This event will exclusively present the findings of an independent research study commissioned by the RCN Foundation on the economic impact of Learning Disability Nursing.
A Question Time style panel will be convened to discuss and debate key issues. Guests will be given the opportunity to submit questions to the panel.
Don't miss this chance to connect with like-minded professionals and make a case for the much-needed support in this area.
The event will be hosted by:
Professor Jane Cummings CBE RN, Chair, Board of Trustees, RCN Foundation and former CNO for England.

Professor Martin Knapp CBE PhD FAcSS, Professor of Health and Social Care Policy and Professorial Research Fellow at the Care Policy and Evaluation Centre (CPEC) who conducted the research
