RCN scoops Cannes award

Published: 14 November 2012

The Royal College of Nursing has won an award at the 2012 Cannes Corporate Film Awards, in the not-for-profit category.

The film, Peter’s Story, features a number of learning disability nurses and those caring for people living with learning disabilities. They tell the story of Peter Cranham, a man who has lived with both stigma and bullying as a result of his learning disabilities. The film shows that specialist nursing staff, and those with the knowledge of how to care for a patient with learning disabilities, have ensured that Peter can live a normal, enjoyable life.

The RCN Learning Disability Forum unveiled the film at RCN Congress earlier this year.
