Investment in programmes, knowledge, recognition, and impact! RNLD’s are a “hidden” member of the nursing family, and yet we tend to find our voices are loud and proud when supporting our profession and those we are trained to support. WE are a resource for all, so let’s support!
Investment in learning disability nursing is needed to save the profession and improve the lives of people living with learning disabilities @WelchySquelchy rcni.com/learning-disability…

Thank you to @necldnetwork and @PBSNEC for the 'all behaviour happens for a reason' campaign. This is a very important ethos promoting informed practice, and advocating for compassionate, needs-led support across all settings.

Very sad to be told student midwives have received emails from universities telling them not to speak to me or other media about this story. Just to repeat - any student midwife can contact me and no one will know. I will protect your identity.
I'd really like to hear from more student midwives about what's going on during your training. Happy to be contacted via DM or at shaun.lintern@sundaytimes.co.uk - anonymity is not a problem. #maternity #maternitysafety
