Those who are looking to make a positive difference to the lives of people with learning disabilities, and already have an undergraduate degree and experience in health and social care, this masters course is for them. Students will become a registered learning disabilities nurse in two years.
This course prepares students for a career in person-centred professional practice across a variety of health and social care settings. Students will learn how to enable design and evaluation of care for people with learning disabilities and their families. They will be challenged to develop skills in gathering, analysing and synthesising evidence to ensure health inequalities and social isolation are confronted and resolved.
Students will study the factors that affect people's health and wellbeing, the health inequalities in today's society and how they can improve health outcomes for people with a learning disability and autistic spectrum conditions (ASC).
Students will explore the management of complex conditions across the lifespan, from children to the older person and those with dementia, or other mental or physical health needs. Through simulations, and on placement, they'll work collaboratively with service users. Placement providers include South West London and St George's Mental Health Trust, Surrey and Borders Partnership Trust, Great Ormond Street, The Children's Trust, and The Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability.
This course is designed for a small cohort of students, where they'll benefit from individual learning and support.
