Government has the power to improve nursing pay, but right now the UK govt has suggested only funding a 2.8% pay increase for NHS staff in England next year. We say the PRB process is outdated. It's time for direct negotiations on pay. Agree? Sign our open letter: buff.ly/3VDEkfN

We need more learning disability nurses. I’m biased as I used to be one. With increasing numbers of children with disability and additional support needs, the transferable skills LD nurses have (including education) are needed more and more.

Is it time for a Government petition to bring back the full bursary for LD Nurses. Many mature students made up the workforce in the past. We need to save the profession as it is in more demand than ever across mainstream and specialist services but numbers on the register are at rock bottom !

This is a very interesting read!

Looking good ladies 😍 I am in stripes #chooseLDNursing good job 👏👏 #getLDNursingvisible

Polka dots kinda day in the LD nursing team @heidimckrnld.bsky.social 💕 #chooseLDNursing

Just joined BlueSky! Looking to connect with #LearningDisabiltyNurses 😊

Fantastic to finally have stakeholders from across the UK together to discuss the #RNLDWorkforceCrisis at the @rcnlibraries.bsky.social #LDNursingSummit. Amazing presentations and discussions. We need action now to grow the profession and protect against further LD health inequalities

Such a heart warming message, full of hope by @MoncktonR and a real honor to meet in person at #LDNursingSummit. Thank you for being our amazing ambassador for #ChooseLDNursing

Hi all, I've set up a starter pack for RNLDs. Going to set up another for Neuroscience Nurses. Let me know if you want your account added to either

Have updated starter packs today, will thread here in case of interest. Shout if you'd like added to any of them and please share so I can find others Currently I've one on #learningdisability one on #OpenJustice and one of people writing/reporting about #health / #socialcare go.bsky.app/J6k8Rsr

Almost two-thirds of people with #LearningDisabilities do not think they have been consulted with the future of day services with councils www.themj.co.uk/learning-dis...

Trying to find my people/those with similar interests here and the #LearningDisability results I'm getting are minimal, so started trying to curate this list go.bsky.app/J6k8Rsr As per, shout if you'd like added. I know I am missing people. All welcome #carer #intellectualdisability #LDNursing
