Petition: Fund a full bursary and maintenance fund to train Learning Disability Nurses
At a time when the demand across health and social care is so high, numbers entering the LD nursing profession are too low. To halt this decline, support the profession with a full bursary and maintenance fund. Now is time for action.

On the back of the RCN congress perhaps they can promote this petition?

There are 17,000 Learning Disability Nurses on the #NMC register. If everyone signed, the government has to respond.

It’s not just for RNLDs to sign, people with a #LearningDisability, parents and carers, make you voice heard. ANYONE can sign. Do it today 🙏🏼

I've added a lot of new contacts today. I've made starter packs for RNLDs and Student LD Nurses, one for neuroscience nurses, and a list for RNLDs and students. Feel free to look from my profile to see if there are any you want to follow. If you want adding to any of these let me know which ones
