People with learning disabilities face severe, systemic health inequalities—yet specialist Learning Disability Nurse (RNLD) posts are disappearing across the health and care sector.

In this recorded session, Ben Thomas breaks down the findings from the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) workforce review. The session examines the critical role RNLDs play in driving equitable care, why training numbers are dropping, and the urgent national calls to action required to protect the workforce.

Key takeaways from the video:

• The current scale of health disparities affecting people with learning disabilities.

• Why specialist RNLD roles are irreplaceable in health and social care.

• Practical recommendations from the RCN to support and retain workforce capacity.
