Based on feedback from last year we have planned the day to share more examples from occupational therapists working in a range of exciting practice settings and provide time for more networking and sharing of ideas. We hope you can join us again.

We’re looking for real-life stories of RNLDs
HEE KSS have been asked if we can engage and add to this website:
www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/nursing/learning-disability-nurse
Do you employ any RNLD’s, that are willing to share their real-life stories to get added to this site. In particular, views from the perspective of nurses working in the independent, charity and private sectors would be helpful.
