Program Overview

Throughout the programme, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to support individuals with a learning disability in a compassionate, person-centred way. You'll explore complex healthcare needs, health promotion, and health facilitation across the lifespan, while developing critical thinking and evidence-based practice that can make a real difference to people's lives.

Learning is split 50/50 between theory and hands-on experience. You'll undertake six placements alongside qualified learning disability nurses in a range of settings, helping you to grow as a creative, collaborative, and confident practitioner.

If you are studying at our Lancaster campus, you may have placement opportunities with Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, Blackpool Teaching Hospitals, Lancashire and South Cumbria Foundation Trust, and University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay. You can also arrange a self-funded enrichment placement, potentially abroad.

With support from our experienced academic staff, your skills will be nurtured through a blend of clinical skills labs, simulated hospital wards, lectures, workshops, guest speakers, and technical simulations, all of which will be supported by a variety of online learning opportunities. These sessions are designed to enhance your independent thinking, problem-solving, and clinical decision-making.

You’ll also build connections with local services during your placements, gaining real insight into community and specialist care. Many of our students graduate with multiple job offers, and career opportunities are incredibly varied – specialisms include behaviour support, health facilitation, children and young people, intensive support services, commissioning, mental health, forensic/secure settings, end of life care, and acute hospital settings.
