Research summary
Across the United Kingdom an explicit field of nursing is commissioned whose role and function is to work in partnership with individuals with learning disabilities and their carers (relatives and support workers) to enable and collaborate with health services, third sector, private and public agencies to meet the evolving needs of this growing population (NES 2014). The aim of this study is to conduct qualitative research with between 26-36 participants comprising policy makers, senior Learning Disability Nurses, Learning Disability Nurses and adults with learning disabilities to better understand what influences decision-making processes and learning disability nursing interventions with people with learning disabilities. This research is focused on understanding factors which support successful delivery of nursing interventions for people with learning disabilities.
