Connecting for Change: for the future of learning disability nursing
Publication Code : 009 467This publication explores contemporary issues concerning the field of learning disability nursing and sets out a series of recommendations and priorities that the UK government and devolved administrations need to address. It also identifies priorities for the RCN to take forward. In 2016, the RCN published Connect for Change highlighting the severe decline in Registered Nurses in Learning Disabilities and students and calling for urgent action to address this. This report, Connecting for Change, was published in 2021 raising further calls for support as the decline in registered nurses in learning disabilities had continued. The RCN is currently undertaking a UK-wide learning disability nursing review as we now have a workforce crisis in England. This review should be complete in Spring 2026. If you would like to share information for this review, please contact the RCN Learning Disability Nursing Forum
