Fascinating presentation from Craig Bell QN on the #thinkCOULD project - this project with the Burdett Trust 💙 and QNIS supports staff working in police custody environments in Scotland to understand and support the needs of people with learning disabilities.

‼️ If there are any #LearningDisability #nurses or nursing students who are The RCN members, please make sure you’ve joined the Learning Disability Nursing Forum Facebook page. Great networking space to connect with nurses across the UK 🤩 #PCPC24

Excellent key note from CNO Northern Ireland Maria McIlgorm delivering insightful info about the population needs of people with learning disabilties, and the strategic plans to meet these needs, the future vision for #LearningDisability / #IntellectualDisability Nursing. #PC2024 #LoveQUB

The UK may no longer be part of the European Union, but The RCN remains part of the European community of nursing! Great opportunity to discuss shared challenges & solutions in the face of a global shortage of nurses & governments who fail to invest in the profession EFN
