This week is Learning Disabilities awareness week. At WTWA we are celebrating #LDWeek19 We have our own Learning Disabilities Nurse Barry presenting about Reasonable Adjustments in a Hospital setting. @himynameisjaneg @TntTracy73 @amandalou1665. Keep an eye out for our roadshow!

@KUttley Sure indeed, It was quite interesting what came out of it. 😊

@barrieobrien Looks really interesting. Would love to know more. :)

MSc Module complete 😁 #frailty #intellectualdisabilities

The abuse uncovered by tonight's #Panorama is incredibly distressing to see. Alongside the police investigation, it is crucial that people with a #LearningDisability and their families directly affected by these allegations are getting support and are safe. ❤️

Happy nurses day to these incredible people #rnlds #nurses #ireland #nursesday @ Killarney instagram.com/p/BxS8UA9jwBM/…

@JimmyJimrid @Ben_LD_Nurse I felt people were more aware of our scope and role when termed intellectual disabilities in Ireland than learning disabilities here in the UK.

@Ben_LD_Nurse It’s not that long ago we were discussing RNID (RN Intellctual Disability) as this was more aligned with International definition. I would be interested to hear from Eire and their experiences. Recruitment and retention in “Nursing” is difficult across the board.

@Ben_LD_Nurse When I trained in Ireland, we were registered as intellectual disability nurses. I found people including other healthcare professionals understood our scope and role a bit more than here in the UK. I tend to find more journals EU wide referring to it as intellectual Disability
