The Community Learning Disability Nursing Service

Community Learning Disability Nurses work with adults (aged 18 or over) who have a learning disability, and additional health needs which require the support of a specialist learning disability nurse.

Learning disability nurses can work with you, and we can work to support your parents or carers to care for you.

Community nurses work with people in the community.  If people are not able to travel, they can visit people where they live.

Community learning disability nurses offer assessment, advice and support on many healthcare issues including:

• Physical Health and Wellbeing
• Mental health and Well being
• Support for a parent/parents  with a learning disability
• Support with activities of daily living (like going to the toilet, washing, or sleeping)
• Epilepsy support and advice
• Sexual health support and advice
• Health Education (such as diabetes, obesity)
• End of life care and support
