From the Foreword by Cecilia Anim (RCN President, 2015):


"...an enjoyable, touching and inspirational read for all
those involved in the lives of people with learning disabilities"


The vast majority of student nurses, practising nurses and
healthcare professionals are not learning disability specialists, but will
still need to treat and care for patients with learning disabilities on a
regular basis.



Caring for People with Learning Disabilities
is a concise introduction to the subject which covers all aspects of the care
and support of the learning disabilities patient, for the non-specialist.


Written in a jargon-free style, the book has numerous
practical examples and case studies to really help the reader frame the special
requirements of the learning disabilities patient in the healthcare setting.
