If you’re looking to make a positive difference to the lives of people with learning disabilities, and already have an undergraduate degree and experience in health and social care, this Masters course is for you. You’ll become a registered learning disabilities nurse in two years.
This course prepares you for a career in person-centred professional practice across a variety of health and social care settings. You will learn how to enable design and evaluation of care for people with learning disabilities and their families. You will be challenged to develop skills in gathering, analysing and synthesising evidence to ensure health inequalities and social isolation are confronted and resolved.
You’ll study the factors that affect people’s health and wellbeing, the health inequalities in our society and how we can improve health outcomes for people with a learning disability and autistic spectrum conditions (ASC).
You’ll explore the management of complex conditions across the lifespan, from children to the older person and those with dementia, or other mental or physical health needs.
Through simulations, and on placement, you’ll work collaboratively with service users. Placement providers include South West London and St George’s Mental Health Trust, Surrey and Borders Partnership Trust, Great Ormond Street, The Children’s Trust, and The Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability.
This course is designed for a small cohort of students, where you'll benefit from individual learning and support. You will be taught by our dynamic teaching team which includes leading researchers and experts in learning disability nursing from practice and the Department of Health. Our students are highly sought after and receive multiple job offers before their course is complete.
